...compromise what the church believes about the uniqueness of God's revelation in and through Christ. Personally I don't think that it would, since the heart of that revelation (that God is love and mercy) is at the moral core of the universe. It is of cosmic dimensions and is not limited to the earth or to the people...
...Astronaut. With cosmic enthusiasm, the Rev. Jack A. Jennings, Presbyterian chaplain at Montana State University, argues that contact with other forms of intelligent life "could turn out to be the most exciting story of the ages." Writing in the liberal Christian Century, Jennings says that if extraterrestrial life forms prove able to reach us, we might need to differentiate between the "great God of the Universe" and the God of Abraham and Moses, who might have been "simply a spaceman-become-a-tribal-deity." Wildly, he also proposes that some sort of primordial "genetics experiment" could have created Jesus Christ...
...Cosmic Quarantine. C.S. Lewis theorized that perhaps other intelligent races never have known evil and that the vast distances in the universe might be "God's quarantine precautions" to "prevent the spiritual infection" of fallen mankind from spreading. David Fetcho of the cult-fighting Spiritual Counterfeits Project in Berkeley, Calif., has developed similar ideas. He insists in the S.C.P. Journal that it is unlikely that an "unfallen" race would visit earth. The reason: God would not want to contaminate the visitors with sin. Moreover, they could teach us nothing that God has not already said in the Bible...
...prophet Ezekiel at dinner; nor is his art treated, as it once was, as an appendage to his poetry. He is more apt to be seen as one of the key figures in the history of English radicalism, rendering the upheavals of his time in a framework of cosmic mythology: the friend of Tom Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft, the burning allegorist of revolution in France and America, the poet of liberty. But no exhibition in living memory has offered quite so much access to him as this one. We see the artist, warts and all: the epiphanies but the fustian...
...that has to be done. Because if we don't do the job, who will? It's our job by elimination. And I mean job, just a job. I am no Job and Noah is no great affliction and neither of us is part of any cosmic test-or otherworldly joke...
