165 - C.S. Lewis on Aliens, A.I., and Personhood

About this episode

The episode discusses C.S. Lewis's views on the theological implications of discovering extraterrestrial life.

We were recently promised UFO/UAE files that would fundamentally disrupt biblical Christianity. In a shocking turn, these promises were not delivered, but this was a good occasion to discuss what C.S. Lewis had to say about the potential theological ramifications of discovering extraterrestrial life. This series is a new venture that may one day become a regular show.
