Life Beyond Earth

Steven J. Dick

Steven J. Dick is an astronomer, author and specialist in the fields of astrobiology, the history of astronomy and space exploration. Astrobiology’s purpose is the search for life beyond us in the universe. Aside from his work in astrobiology, Dick is known for advancing the ideas of Cosmo theology and the post-biological universe. Cosmo theology holds that theology should be based on what we know about the universe, namely that we are not in a central physical position, and possibly not in a central position biologically.
