I’ve been looking forward to visiting the Ark Encounter for… well, pretty much since I first heard about it. Meanwhile, atheists and other misotheists have been maligning it and trying to sink it ever since they heard about it. Most recently, Andrew Seidel, an attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, used some footage from a trip…
Would Lovecraft-Inspired, Hibernating Digital Aliens Solve the Fermi Paradox?
Originally posted on Exotheology.org:
If microbes-to-man evolution is true and the universe progresses by purely natural processes, the Copernican Principle of Mediocrity suggests that life should be ubiquitous. We should be able to detect signs and signals of intelligent alien life to the point where the news stops reporting it because it’s so commonplace.…
Does an Alien Zombie Apocalypse Solve the Fermi Paradox?
Originally posted on Exotheology.org:
It seems like the possibility of a Zombie Apocalypse gets just as much attention from the media as the UFO phenomenon. Shows like the Walking Dead and movies like World War Z have certainly made the concept more popular than it once was. I’m not immune. A copy of Max…
What Vaccines and Alien Abductions Have in Common
Originally posted on Exotheology.org:
What do vaccines and alleged alien abductions have in common? Aside from needles, believe it or not, according to conspiracy theorists the thing that vaccines and alien abductions have in common is that both are named as probable causes for autism! In April 2017, Anthony Lawson, et al, published a…

Originally posted on Exotheology.org:
A new book of essays edited by Jim Al-Khalili aims to give insight on aliens, space exploration, transhumanism, robot overlords and a whole host of other related subjects to a public saturated with misinformation and misunderstanding resulting from sci-fi tropes.

CreationWiki: Aliens Would Cause Believers to Abandon the Bible
Originally posted on Exotheology.org:
“We can safely say however, that if alien spaceships in fact landed on Earth… the reality of alien interaction would be undeniable to all those who dwell on earth. At this point, we would expect all Bible believers to set their Bibles aside and never give God a second thought.”…
Strangers and Aliens Gets Some Love

It’s a bit frustrating sometimes when yoir book is apparently?The Most Hated Book in Creationism… especially when no one particularly engages the arguments in said book and resorts to insults and appeals to authority instead. Truth isn’t always well-received. Still, I’m not exactly looking to be an exotheological martyr so…

Is the Search for ET Rebellion Against God?
Originally posted on Exotheology.org:
I was researching the history of modern creationists thought on exotheology recently, when I came across Ken Ham’s earliest article on the search for extraterrestrial life. The article, entitled?Any Little Green Men Out There?, originally appeared in Creation 15, no 1 (December 1992): 14-16. In that article, Ken Ham wrote…
The Reckoning: An Emerging Crisis In Biblical Exotheology
Originally posted on Exotheology.org:
Modern exotheology risks repeating the error of the Galileo debacle. Since those who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it, let’s start at the beginning of exotheology. The first recorded discussion of the possibility of extraterrestrial life comes from the 5th century BC Atomists. The Atomists were deistic;…
What I Didn’t Know 20 Years Ago
On March 23, 1997, I stopped running from a God I thought I knew everything about from my upbringing. I grew up in church. I certainly knew it’s culture and teachings, but I didn’t really know Jesus. I knew about Jesus. I knew about Church history. I could quote you Bible verses. But I knew…
Simon Turpin’s Really Bad Argument Against Transhumanism and Space Colonization
I’m a Biblical Christian who loves science fiction. In fact, I write scifi books! Robots have been a staple of the genre since they were first conceived. One of the first things we wondered about was just how smart they’d be. With this speculation came a natural Frankenstein-induced fear: will the machines we create replace…
