Chris Baglow: Extraterrestrial Life and Catholic Theology




On February 3, 2022, SBI hosted Prof. Chris Baglow, the Director of the Science and Religion Initiative at the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, for a talk titled “Extraterrestrial Life and Catholic Theology.” Prof. Baglow’s fascinating talk drew upon the thought of classical and modern theologians to propose some possibilities for what Christians might expect to discover if the universe is inhabited by other species who, like Homo sapiens, are created in the divine image. He tentatively proposed that if there are other rational species in the universe, the Son of God will become incarnate as one of them in a way that is similar to how he became incarnate in the man Jesus Christ. The talk was followed by a lively question and answer session.
