| 總結: | In this article I bring together the topics of astrobiology and the Christian teaching of fallenness, asking whether we have good theological reasons for supposing one way or another that non-earthly life is fallen.

Finally, I examine how we might identify fallenness in astrobiological life, using the sciences as a helpful partner to expand on our understanding of fallenness and its cosmic extent. |
