Don’t we have enough aliens on this planet? Why go looking elsewhere for more of ‘em.

This Daily Mail junk article is essentially hype for the James Webb telescope to be launched Christmas Day. According to the hype, the telescope will likely find signs of life on some exoplanets.

That's why the Daily Mail dredged up a seven-year-old news item about NASA funding some theologians to speculate on how a discovery of ETs would affect religions, especially Christianity. It's surprising that the article contained this quote:

Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said in a 2008 interview when asked if there are such thing as aliens: 'The answer is no; that’s speculative.

'We have no reason to believe there is any other story out there. There is nothing in Scripture that says there can’t be some form of life somewhere. But what we are told is that the cosmos was created in order that on this planet Jesus Christ, in space and time and history, would come to save sinful humanity.'
