NASA: from landing people on alien planets and using robots to explore the known universe, to producing video clips disproving the sorts of half-baked ideas people like Wiggs attach to.
MIT scientist Dr. Walt Brown (a creationist) in his book "In The Beginning " points out that during the great Genesis flood, as recorded in the Bible, the fountains of the deep that were let loose could have easily spewed out meteors and meteorites into space that very well may have contained micro-organisms such as bacteria. One thing for sure is that life requires intelligent creation and doesn't come by chance. NASA knows all this but looking for life on other planets is a powerful way to motivate people to want their government to give more and more money to NASA. NASA, after all, is a business with hefty salaries at stake.
