Dear Rabbi Lamm, 16.6.16: Some time ago I was shown an article of yours in “Tradition” (vol. 7 no. 4 – vol. 8 no. 1; Winter ’65 – Spring ’66) entitled “The Religious Implications of Extraterrestrial Life” and was, if I may say so, greatly impressed by the clear set-out, the learned understanding of the matter, but above all by the fearless and yet careful method of discussing topics into which, because of lack of knowledge or interest, most of us are sometimes loathe, or indeed afraid, to look. However, I wonder if you would be kind enough to explain to me a point which you raise which I find a little difficult to reconcile with what I have been taught.
