Astrobiology is changing how we understand meaningful human
existence. Living with Tiny Aliens seeks to imagine how an
individuals' meaningful existence persists when we are planetary
creatures situated in deep time-not only on a blue planet
burgeoning with life, but in a cosmos pregnant with
living-possibilities. In doing so, it works to articulate an
astrobiological humanities. Working with a series of specific
examples drawn from the study of extraterrestrial life, doctrinal
reflection on the imago Dei, and reflections on the Anthropocene,
Pryor reframes how human beings meaningfully dwell in the world and
belong to it. To take seriously the geological significance of
human agency is to understand the Earth as not only a living planet
but an artful one. Consequently, Pryor reframes the imago Dei,
rendering it a planetary system that opens up new possibilities for
the flourishing of all creation by fostering technobiogeochemical
cycles not subject to runaway, positive feedback. Such an account
ensures the imago Dei is not something any one of us possesses, but
that it is a symbol for what we live into together as a species in
intra-action with the wider habitable environment.
