Space: The James Webb Telescope, hobbits of the universe, astrobiology, and 16 billion billion Earth-like planets

This week we have another classic episode of Matters of Life and Death from the archive. We invited theologian Andrew Davison to join us to talk through the spiritual ramifications of cosmology and what light thinking about the wider universe sheds on vital doctrines such as creation and incarnation. We then talked about the subject of his book, which is out now, on astrobiology - what would the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe mean for us as Christians and for what we believe about God? - Andrew’s new book, ‘Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine’, is available to order now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Astrobiology-Christian-Doctrine-Exploring-Implications/dp/1009303155 - Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 - If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com - For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com
