Guests of the Creation Museum enjoy the Created Cosmos presentation in Stargazer's Planetarium
We've all seen movies offering fictional takes on extraterrestrial
life—from the popular "Alien" trilogy to the kid-friendly "E.T." Just
recently, an initiative was launched to gather more scientific data on
alien life in outer space.
The planetarium at the Creation Museum in Kentucky will offer next
month a show that will endeavour to tackle a different take on
extraterrestrial life: What does the Bible say about aliens?
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Creation Museum
chief executive officer and president Ken Ham announced that "Answers in
Genesis" astronomer Danny Faulkner will be overseeing the production of
the new planetarium show.
"Answers in Genesis is thrilled to announce that another exciting and
spectacular planetarium program, 'Aliens—Fact or Fiction?' has been
produced by our talented team and will be available for viewing at the
Creation Museum starting from Labor Day, Sept. 4," Ham said.
"Our state-of-the-art Stargazer's Planetarium has been one of the
most popular features at the Creation Museum. The other popular
planetarium programs will also continue to be shown," he added.
In a short teaser video, Faulkner explained that new planetarium show
will take on Biblical principles behind extraterrestrial life.
"We like to look at the Bible for all sorts of questions like this.
But when we go to Scripture, we don't find any direct evidence of
extraterrestrial aliens. However, there are some biblical principles we
can apply to this very important and interesting question," Faulkner
said.
The Vatican earlier said that the possible existence of alien life does not contradict the Bible.
"Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on Earth, there can be
other beings, even intelligent, created by God. This is not in contrast
with our faith because we can't put limits on God's creative freedom,"
Argentinean Jesuit Father José Gabriel Funes of the Vatican's space
program said earlier.
Ham, however, believes that the Scriptures do not seem to indicate the existence of extraterrestrial life.
