Exotheology and exobiology are pseudosciences relating to a belief in extraterrestrial life, or life in outer space. This was a liberal belief system pushed in the middle of the 20th century by scientists and politicians, often to advance political objectives like nuclear disarmament, globalism, environmentalism, and communism.

Ahh, good old Conservapedia.

Why are disarmament and environmentalism bad/evil? Can someone please explain this to me?
Because they prevent fundies from destroying the world at an ever-increasing rate, thereby stalling the Rapture and preventing us heathens from burning for all eternity while the righteous watch us from their balcony seats.
At least, that's what the fundies tell me.
As for those political objectives, I don't think they're as bad as you think they are:
It is my personal, crazy conspiracy theory, that conservapedia was created by the makers of wikipedia in order to increase the credibility of their product.
Erm, no. Exobiology is pretty much science, because it is scientifically plausible. Extremophiles, organic compounds and liquid water oceans on distant moons and whatnot.
conservapedia is fucking hilarious, i once edited the article on new zealand saying that is was a japanese and russian colony before the british took it over, and it stayed there for several weeks before someone realised
In a way, he's right. Just think how foolish, ignorant, & violent we would look to alien species.
Well, what do you know, it appears that exotheology actually exists. Of course, the links in the "See also" sending to pages about Raelism, UFO religions and an UFO-believing exorcist cardinal tell us all we need about the credibility of this "science".
I once attended a lecture on exobiology delivered by Jack Cohen.
How does that promote any of those?
It's not like you have some lie that you use to advance the causes of homophobia, misogyny, restriction of education, and hatred of all things not exactly like you.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
