Over the last thirty years, humanity has discovered thousands of planets outside of our solar system. The discovery of extraterrestrial life could be imminent. This book explains how such a discovery might impact Islamic theology. It is the foundational reference on the subject, comprising a variety of different insights from both Sunni and Shi'i positions, from different Muslim contexts, and with chapters that compare and contrast Islamic perspectives with Christianity. Together, they address some of our biggest questions through an Islamic lens: What makes humans unique in the cosmos? What are the ethics of dealing with other sentient beings? And how universal is salvation? Given the accelerating advances in exoplanet research and astrobiology, the book is at the frontier of science and Islamic thought. Contributors include a range of leading experts from Muslim theologians, scholars of comparative religion and philosophers, to historians, social scientists and natural scientists.

The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, has attracted both praise and sharp criticism from the mainstream scientific community over the years. Extraterrestrials: A Philosophical Perspective explores the important philosophical issues that are at play in this discussion. André Kukla closely examines several of the prominent ideas surrounding the possibility of extraterrestrial life such as the vastness of the universe argument, the argument from mediocrity and the one world, one science argument while offering innovative theories of his own. Among other things, Kukla show uses Chomsky's account of language acquisition to explain why humans will never be able to communicate with extraterrestrials. Extraterrestrials offers a close and thorough treatment of extraterrestrial life that will intrigue a wide audience, especially those who are interested in the philosophy of science.

INTEREST IN THE POSSIBILITY OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE IS LITERALLY EXPLODING. PHENOMENAL UFO SIGHTINGS AND ALLEGED ABDUCTION CASES MAKE HEADLINES ALL ACROSS THE WORLD. SCRIPTS DEPICTING ALIENS AND CLOSE ENCOUNTERS DOMINATE THE TELEVISION AND MOVIE INDUSTRIES. PSYCHICS AND NEW AGE CHANNELERS ARE MAKING CONTACT WITH UFO-NAUTS. THOUSANDS OF HONEST SCIENTISTS, AIRPLANE PILOTS, RADAR TECHNICIANS, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, POLITICIANS, AND INFORMED LAYMEN FROM EVERY WALK OF LIFE HAVE REALIZED THAT, INDEED, WE ARE NOT ALONE. NASA HAS AN OFFICIAL PROGRAM TO SEARCH FOR AND MONITOR SIGNS OF LIFE BEYOND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. THE POSSIBILITY OF VISITORS FROM OTHER GALAXIES HAS NEVER BEEN STRONGER. THE BELIEF IN THE IMMINENT ARRIVAL OF EXTRATERRESTRIALS IN OUR MIDST IS A FANTASY THAT IS AS POWERFUL AS ANY DRUG, AS REVOLUTIONARY AS ANY DELUSION THAT MARKED THE PREVIOUS MILLENIUM, AS POISONOUS AS ANY GREAT IRRATIONAL UPHEAVALS OF HISTORY. CLEARLY THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY CAN NO LONGER IGNORE THE UFO MOVEMENT AND ITS INFLUENCE. IN THIS BOOK THE AUTHORS CONSTRUCT AN EYE-OPENING, YET ULTIMATELY IRRESISTIBLE THEORY AS TO THE ORIGIN AND NATURE OF THE FORCES BEHIND UFOS. THIS THEORY IS ONE THAT WILL EXPOSE THE DIABOLICAL SPIRITUAL NATURE AND SHOCKING LAST-DAYS AGENDA OF THESE COSMIC VISITORS. THEY HAVE BEEN HERE IN OUR ANCIENT PAST, THEY ARE BECOMING MOER ACTIVE IN OUR PRESENT, AND THE BIBLE SAYS THEY ARE PRIMED FOR AN ALL-OUT INVASION OF EARTH IN OUR VERY NEAR FUTURE!

The Extraterrestrial Life Debate Antiquity To 1915 written by Michael J. Crowe and has been published by University of Notre Dame Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with Body, Mind & Spirit categories.

This book presents key documents from the pre-1915 history of the extraterrestrial life debate. Introductions and commentaries accompany each source document, some of which are published here for the first time or in a new translation. Authors included are Aristotle, Lucretius, Aquinas, Nicholas of Cusa, Galileo, Kepler, Pascal, Fontenelle, Huygens, Newton, Pope, Voltaire, Kant, Paine, Chalmers, Darwin, Wallace, Dostoevski, Lowell, and Antoniadi, among others. Michael J. Crowe has compiled an extensive bibliography not available in other sources. These materials reveal that the extraterrestrial life debate, rather than being a relatively modern phenomenon, has extended throughout nearly all Western history and has involved many of its leading intellectuals. The readings also demonstrate that belief in extraterrestrial life has had major effects on science and society, and that metaphysical and religious views have permeated the debate throughout much of its history. "This is a valuable book that is not available anywhere else. . . . Crowe's purpose is to let the reader see the original words of the authors who discussed other worlds. Crowe puts these documents in context by his substantial introduction and commentary. . . . Such a source book serves an important purpose, and is ideal for teaching and generating discussion in class. The subject is of increasing importance as we find more and more about the possibilities of extraterrestrial life through current disciplines such as astrobiology, bioastronomy, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence." --Steven J. Dick, Director, NASA History Division, NASA "Having established himself as the world's authority on the history of the debates about extraterrestrial life in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Michael Crowe is perfectly positioned to produce this source book. The introductory commentaries on the excerpts from primary sources he has so judiciously selected reveal again and again that no one else knows this subject as well as he does." --Frederick Gregory, University of Florida "The Extraterrestrial Life Debate gives new meaning to the word 'treasury.' Michael Crowe offers us more than 2000 years of golden materials--wrought by the astonishing alchemy of science, religion, philosophy, and sheer imagination--about a topic as alive today as it ever was: ET, with all his cousins and ancestors. The range of authors the book showcases, and the depth of context Crowe provides, will make his monumental anthology the starting point for future explorations of this rich vein of human thought." --Dennis Danielson, University of British Columbia "There are loads of books on ET, but only a small number of them take a historical approach . . . Anyone interested in the history of the extraterrestrial life debate will be interested in this book; it does complete in a certain way previous historical work done by Steven Dick and Michael Crowe by providing large portions of original texts rather than merely short quotations from them. . . . All the various perspectives, religious, literary, astronomical, philosophical, seem adequately represented. The multidisciplinary aspect of the debate comes across well from the authors selected." --Marie I. George, St. John's University "Extraterrestrials may not have invaded the Earth physically but for centuries they have done so mentally. In many a guise they have appeared not only in works of fiction but also in serious astronomical, philosophical and theological debate. It is impossible to open Michael Crowe's handsome and fastidiously prepared anthology of primary sources without being drawn into endlessly fascinating disputes concerning the possibility and character of extraterrestrial life. Savoring the many twists and turns in controversies that have extended far beyond the confines of popular astronomy, Professor Crowe has provided students and experts alike with a generous and indispensable resource. It is difficult to resist his invitation to investigate for ourselves the innumerable, and often surprising, ways in which the idea of intelligent life on other worlds has shaped and been shaped by perennial Earthly concerns." --John Hedley Brooke, Andreas Idreos Professor Emeritus of Science and Religion, University of Oxford
