ABSTRACT

Settlement of the Outer Planets of the Solar System will take humans far away from the Sun, its warmth, and the light on which humans depend. Most settlements will be small mining enclaves or research stations until well into the future. Lengthy travel times will satisfy the human needs for hope, patience, acceptance, self-study, and contemplation of God's role in the universe. The authors explore the potential roles of theology and religion in Deep Space, the Asteroids, and the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn where life might be found in the liquid oceans under ice that is kilometers deep.

外行星人类定居的生态神学：超越太阳温暖的宗教角色

摘要

太阳系外行星的定居将使人类远离太阳、远离太阳的温暖以及人类赖以生存的光。大多数定居点将是小型采矿飞地或研究站，直到很长一段时间。漫长的旅行时间将满足人类对希望、耐心、接受、自学和沉思上帝在宇宙中的作用的需要。作者探讨了神学和宗教在深空、小行星以及木星和土星的冰冷卫星中的潜在作用，在这些地方，生命可能存在于数公里深的冰层下的液态海洋中。
