Astrotheology

Astrotheology is a discipline combining the methods and domains of space science with systematic theology.[1] Astrotheology concerns the theological, cultural, and ethical implications of space exploration and identifies the elements of myth and religion in space science.[2][3] Astrotheology is a "multi-disciplinary branch of theology that takes up the relationship between God and the creation, especially the creation of the universe over time."[4] Ted F. Peters envisions astrotheology as "the meeting point between theologians and astrobiologists."[5] A.C. Pieterse describes the field as a "prophetic wormhole that relates space-time to eschatological transformation", a theology of nature rather than a natural theology.[6]
