Episode 142: Are We Alone?

Does intelligent life exist on other planets, or are we alone in the universe? This is a question people have pondered for many years. Join Al, Chad, and Lou as they discuss this question from the perspective of both science and science fiction. We talk about how extraterrestrial contact has been portrayed in movies and television shows. We'll also talk about the Drake Equation, the Fermi Paradox, and what an encounter with intelligent alien life would mean for human society, science, and religion.
