Science & the Universe: Ted Peters on Theology, the Pope, and the Nature of Non-Human Life | RC 82

In today’s episode, we explore the intersection of science, faith, and the universe with theologian and professor Ted Peters. As a leading voice on religion and the unknown, he examines how theological perspectives evolve alongside scientific discoveries—especially in the context of non-human intelligence.

From the Vatican’s stance on extraterrestrial life to the ethical and philosophical implications of expanding our cosmic worldview, we discuss whether faith traditions are prepared for the confirmation of non-human beings. Could this shift lead to a new kind of spirituality, where the universe itself becomes a focal point of belief?

Join us as we get rebelliously curious.
