Astrotheology

"[7] The theologian Ted Peters similarly identifies ancient debates on the plurality of worlds (aperoi kosmoi) as a starting point for astrotheology, tracing it from Aristotle through to Thomas Aquinas, Jean Buridan, and William of Ockham.

"[4] Derham advocated a chronology of space science broken into three eras, the Ptolemaic, the Copernican, and post-Copernican.

[11] It connects with astrobiology, challenging the concept of extraterrestrial intelligence and engaging in discussions about the extent of God's creation.

Astrotheology explores the spiritual dimensions inspired by space sciences, and uncovers hidden religious meanings in secular experiences.

[12] Astrotheology collaborates with astroethicists to propose public policies related to scientific space exploration and ethical considerations.
