A Theology Of Mars

Noah talks to the Rev. Krister Stendahl (KRIS-ter STEN-dall), former Dean of Harvard Divinity School, about the theological implications of the discovery of the possibility of life on Mars. Bishop Stendahl says that this is akin to a Copernican revolution; it changes our conception of the nature of our universe. He says that this makes the Creation, and therefore God, a little bigger than we thought they were.
