Our “Cosmic Cousins”

Note from LT Editors: Our hearts and prayers go out to the families in Florida who lost loved ones in the recent school shooting. These tragic horrific events are incomprehensible. While we carry on with our work here, we do not ever want to give the impression that we do not care for people around the world who are suffering the loss of family members to violent acts. As the Bible says, “For God so loved the world,” we believe God loves and cares about those whom He created.

Carl Sagan was a strong believer and promoter of Darwinian evolution. He was also an advocate of taxpayers funding the technology required to scan the heavens for intelligent beings. Although Sagan believed that one day this technology would discover signals that would show we are not alone in the universe, science has not yet announced they have made contact with our cosmic cousins.

Sagan once stated, “Civilizations that are hundreds of millions of light years beyond us should have sciences and technologies so far beyond our present capabilities, they would be indistinguishable from magic.” 1

Or as a colleague in extraterrestrial research, Robert Jastrow, once said, “Life that is a billion years beyond us may be far beyond the flesh-and-blood form that we would recognize. It may be in the form of a silicon-based intelligence, or more likely, it is disembodied and has escaped its mortal flesh to become what old-fashioned people would call spirits.” 2

So, here is the question: If these extraterrestrial superbeings have evolved beyond the physical dimension as Sagan and Jastrow claimed, how would they try to communicate to mere Earthlings who are so much lower on the evolutionary ladder? Click here to continue reading.
