The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses (Albert Einstein 1954, in his "Gods Letter")

Wa�alaikum salaam,
Dear Koopa39, ------------------------------------- Is believing in the existence of technologically superior extraterrestrial intelligences permitted in Islam? Is trying to find and contact technologically superior extraterrestrial intelligences (e.g. by working at the SETI Institute) permitted in Islam? ------------------------------------ There is no ban on it, but keep in mind that Allah created the heavens and earth are reserved for human beings the only creature of Allah who are given the wits, on that basis, then there's no other creature that can surpass human intelligence. But if you want to work at the SETI institute is not a problem, because there are other things that haven't been touched by science including the creeping creature that until now humans haven't been able to find this creature in outer space as mentioned in the Quran. Currently humans can only illustrate in films about such creature. Wassalaam, Asep |

Assalamu Alaykum,
I have two questions.
Is believing in the existence
of technologically superior extraterrestrial intelligences permitted in Islam?
Is trying to find and
contact technologically superior extraterrestrial intelligences (e.g. by
working at the SETI Institute) permitted in Islam?
These �technologically
superior extraterrestrial intelligences� would not be like the aliens in all of
the Hollywood movies, they would be far more powerful.
They would be
technologically so far ahead of us that they could potentially do some or all
of the following things (sorted from most likely to least likely):
- Completely blow up a
planet or a star with one single bomb (e.g. antimatter bomb).
- Create stars and
planets and perhaps also seed life on planets.
- Have armies of
trillions of extremely intelligent and powerful robots.
- Engineer structures
bigger than our planet (e.g. Jupiter brains) and bigger than our Sun (e.g.
Dyson spheres, matrioshka brains).
- Have uploaded their
consciousness/soul into machines (e.g. super-advanced computers, Jupiter
brains, matrioshka brains) to achieve immortality.
- Teleport instantly
anywhere in the universe by using worm holes.
- Travel in the past
and change the timeline.
