According to CNN News Channel 18 reported on the 26th, NASA in the United States Princeton University in 2014 to create a "theological inquiry center" project, recently, the center recruited 24 religious scholars, to explore the impact of extraterrestrial life may have on the human value system and religious civilization. Davidson, a British theologian and pastor who was hired, believes that with the rapid development of space exploration, human contact with other planetary civilizations is becoming more and more real. According to a NASA expert, "We may not be able to find new life in a hundred years, but maybe next week we will encounter aliens." ”

Some religious scholars believe that once extraterrestrial life is discovered, it is likely to change or even subvert the fundamental cognition of various religions, and the believers of various religions will inevitably face the collapse of faith. According to the British "Daily Mail", many senior experts in the field of theology do not believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life, and some religious schools only accept the worldview of "heaven and earth". According to a Pew Center poll in July, 57 percent of Christians in the United States do not believe in the existence of advanced extraterrestrial life. (Gao Wenyu)
