NASA Hires 24 Theologians & A Priest to Prepare Humans to Encounter with Aliens

The National Space and Aeronautics Administration (NASA) has hired 24 theologians and a priest to know how people would react to contact with aliens. Along with this, a priest has also been hired to prepare humans to encounter with aliens. Rev Dr Andrew Davison, a British priest and theologist at Cambridge University who has a degree in Biochemistry is among 24 theologians who have been hired.

Andrew Davison is all set to release his book in the year 2022. The book will be all about the contact of humans and aliens and will be titled ‘Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine’.   He will raise questions in his book that ask how the discovery of alien life will affect beliefs of religious people all around the world. 

Davison along with 23 other theologians, took part in a NASA-sponsored programme at the Centre for Technological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton in the US. The programme aims to know that how the world’s different religions would react to the announcement that life exits in worlds beyond our own.
