Did Jesus Die for Klingons, Too? The Pentagon Wants to Know

According to a new report from Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored an effort called the 100-Year Starship initiative, which advocates human interstellar travel. 

As part of that initiative, DARPA—the legendary advanced research arm of the Pentagon that's known for sponsoring way-out-there research—last year paid nearly $100,000 for a workshop that included a discussion session entitled "Did Jesus Die for Klingons, Too?" The seminar focused on the implications for Christianity if intelligent life were to be found on other planets, the report said.
