Why Did NASA Issue a $1.1 Million Grant to Study How Alien Life Could Impact Christianity?

• NASA is preparing for the Disclosure/Invasion of ‘Aliens’. These are fallen angels and the Nephilim, NOT ‘ALIENS’. This is the coming endtimes strong delusion of 2 Thess. 2:9-12. The expectation is that the monotheistic religions of the world ie. mainly Christianity and Islam will take a BIG HIT, religious changing SHOCK! There will be a Great Falling Away and abandonment/destruction of these religions.

• 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (New King James Version)
  9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

• Why Did NASA Issue a $1.1 Million Grant to Study How Alien Life Could Impact Christianity?

  More than a year ago, the NASA Astrobiology Program gave a $1.108 million grant to the Center for Theological Inquiry. And if that doesn’t make any sense to you, you’re not alone.
  –
  The project is intended to refresh and expand scholarly and public dialogue on this subject, which is of growing interest due to the discovery of thousands of extrasolar planets and the ongoing search for potentially habitable environments in our solar system and beyond. With this $1.108 million grant, CTI will oversee a resident team of visiting scholars in theology, the humanities, and social sciences that will conduct an interdisciplinary inquiry on the societal implications of astrobiology, the study of the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.
  –
  This inquiry will extend over two academic years from 2015 to 2017…
  …
  Announcing the NASA grant, CTI’s director William Storrar said, “The aim of this inquiry is to foster theology’s dialogue with astrobiology on its societal implications, enriched by the contribution of scholars in the humanities and social sciences. We are grateful to the NASA Astrobiology Program for making this pioneering conversation possible.”
  –
  To put that another way, NASA made a million-dollar donation to a religious group so that it could study how the discovery of extraterrestrial life would impact Christianity. Why is NASA funding any sort of dialogue about the intersection of science and religion?
  –
  That’s what Jerry Coyne, who noticed the grant, wanted to know earlier this week. And that’s what the Freedom From Religion Foundation is now exploring:
  –
  “The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits any ‘sponsorship, financial support, and active involvement of the sovereign in religious activity,’” FFRF Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel writes to NASA officials. “Specifically, the government may not fund religious projects, as various courts have ruled over the years.”
