Has anyone read "Aliens Are God’s Children Too" by J.J. Stewart? Sci Fi Catholic notes in A Little Bit of Christmas… that there’s a sample chapter available at Aliens Are God’s Children Too: Christmas on another planet.
I’m tossing up setting an essay on what the implications for religious faith might be in the face of potential discoveries of extra-terrestrial life, so the idea’s sort of floating around in my head at the moment. (Either that or it’s a side effect of too much Christmas cake eaten with strong blue cheese.)
