Science and Islam: Extraterrestrial Life: An Islamic Look
Join Project Nur at University of Colorado - Boulder and the American Islamic Congress for the sixth Science and Islam Dialogue Series event, Extraterrestrial Life: An Islamic Look.
This dialogue examines the consequences of the discovery of extraterrestrial life and/or extraterrestrial intelligence on personal faith. Does being a practicing Muslim hinder or guide results and hypotheses? Join our participants as they grapple with these questions.
