| Jesus' outreach to the aliens. A real stretch! |
Researchers and theologians are discussing the incarnation [God became flesh] of Christ. They discussed the potential impacts of aliens on society and religion at a meeting of the London Royal Society recently, and a report of their findings was published early this month.
According to Ted Peters, who is a theologian at the Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, if people believed in the existence of aliens, it could make them ask if Jesus Christ has appeared more than once in the universe.
"It's been argued for a couple of centuries now whether one incarnation of God as Jesus Christ for the entirety of creation is sufficient, with some thinking that God would do so multiple times as appropriate for the capacity of any individual species to comprehend," Peters told SPACE.com.
