Possible artificial lights on the dark side of the planet Proxima B !!! If true, this is a staggering discovery, obviously much bigger than anything in human history !!! This would indicate intelligent life there, and the theological implications are staggering !!! Proxima B is orbiting a nearby star relatively close to our solar system. Our astronomers have discovered many, many planets orbiting stars in our galaxy. Is intelligent life common in the universe? And what do such critters look like? Like us or like something we would find frightening? And the biggest question is.........how does God fit into all of this???
It was a huge discovery when Columbus sailed across the Atlantic and discovered the New World, but this is much, much, much greater of a discovery!
This email is going out to a lot of folks, and some pastors I know. Would any pastor (or rabbi) like to comment on this? I am very serious! Perhaps even dedicate a sermon to this? We know about what our Bible (Old and New Testaments) has to say about salvation and eternal life, but what about intelligent life on a distant planet in another solar system?

P.S. Our news media outlets have remained silent on this. Perhaps they do not want to touch the theological implications of this!
P.P.S. Well, pastors receiving this......................... your comments??? nlipken@gmail.com
