off-earth water
I’m wondering what the theological implications of water on planets other than the earth are? We are trying to find water on Europa, Mars and the Moon, and let’s just say it is there. Does it imply that water was splashing through space during the creation? That other planets once had water? Further, if there is microbial life or some other type of life in this water, what would that mean? Did God seed the universe with water for the future colonization of space by humanity? I’m interested in a theology of space exploration, and what water elsewhere means for us in the Church.
