Sim City, NASA Style

Interesting article about the possibility of life on other planets outside of our solar system.

Two thoughts on this article:
1. This sounds just like the old computer game Sim City, which I loved and have wondered if I could find an on-line version to play. I will claim ignorance here, not being a scientist, but since when did Sim City become a part of the scientific method?

2. I wonder what the implications are to theology if some sort of life was found outside our solar system? The implications would be even greater if this was intelligent life. What would that do to our understanding our place with God? And what would this do to our anthropomorphisms of God?
