The search for intelligence

Should we be searching the stars or the Scriptures to find wisdom and well-being?

Jeffrey M. Sinatra

"Is there intelligent life in outer space?" asks a cover of Life magazine. It continues, "A $100 million NASA program ... may finally answer one of mankind's most compelling questions."

The question that Life magazine posed to its readers is certainly "compelling," but we can see more implied in this question than simply whether there are other intelligent beings. The search ultimately needs to go much deeper. The question "What is real intelligence?" is perhaps the most essential one, for the answer to this question would dissolve all mystery concerning what life itself actually is.
