Listening for Life in Space

1987 10 October 14 Listening for Life in Space (173) “If you are really there, please call your friends.”

Spurred on by the assumption that life forms exist somewhere in outer space, western scientists have been ‘listening’ for their signals with the aid of sophisticated technology, and space flights also aim, amongst other things, at contacting them. Evolutionists have even extended their theories of the origins of life on earth to include the possibility of its having been sparked off by extra-terrestrial civilizations. This had led to the further assumption that the life forms in space may resemble ours, without necessarily being superior to them and that the notion of a Lord and Creator is inessential to the explanation of life and its origins. But all of this is simply taking us further and further into the realms of science fiction, for, life and consciousness being such unique and exceptional phenomena in the whole universe, they could never have come, spontaneously, into being by themselves. The very fact that they exist is clear evidence of the existence of a living Creator and Sustainer.
