With a one-minute look at culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone Street with the point,

recently a scientific American article titled The Search for Extra-Trestra Life as We

Don't Know It, reflected on the continued search for life across the universe, until quite

recently, the search has always been for life as we know it on Earth, carbon-based life

forms, oxygen, DNA, RNA.

Today, however, the search is expanded.

After all, what if life takes other forms elsewhere?

Back in 2016, a group of thinkers offered a new focus for The Search for Life, Complexity,

journalist Sarah Skulls described it this way.

If you come across a fleet of 747s on Mars, you might not know where they came from, but

you know they're unlikely to be random.

That idea became the foundation for a NASA-funded group called Laboratory for Agnostic Biosignatures.

They look for forms of life across the universe.

The group may claim to be agnostic, but complexity points to design, and design points to a mind.

Who knows?

Maybe they will find life, or the capital L, after all.
