Big Questions about the Human Being: Bioscience & Islam in Dialogue

Big Questions About the Human Being - Episode 6 | Are Humans Unique in the Universe? The Question of Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life.


Listen Later

In this final episode of our series, Dr. Aasim Padela is joined by leading philosophers, scientists, and theologians for a fascinating discussion about the evidence for extraterrestrial intelligent life (ETI).  

We discuss:  
● What science and astronomy reveal about the likelihood of intelligent life beyond Earth  
● How religious traditions — including Islam — address the idea of beings like us elsewhere in the universe  
● Whether the discovery of ETI would challenge or reinforce our sense of human uniqueness  
● The humility and wonder inspired by contemplating our place in the cosmos   

From talking about space telescopes to scriptural interpretation, join us as we navigate the frontiers of science and religion to understand whether we are alone in the universe.
