This March, Science Channel returns with its programming event dedicated to one of mankind's most pressing questions with ARE WE ALONE? - a week-long campaign dedicated to satisfying viewers' appetite for aliens. The week kicks off on Sunday, March 2 at 10 PM ET/PT with the premiere of new episodes of NASA'S UNEXPLAINED FILES, and continues with four more all-new programs including the series CLOSE ENCOUNTERS on Tuesday, March 4 at 10 PM ET/PT and a special premiere episode of THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN on Wednesday, March 5 at 10 PM ET/PT.

In an all-new episode of the critically acclaimed THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN, scientists seek answers to the controversial question "Is God An Alien Concept?". Ancient evidence suggests humans have practiced religion since they first walked the planet. But is God being worshipped in other worlds, across the cosmos? Is Earth the Universe's only home for religion? Or is God an Alien Concept? The answers might be buried here on Earth.
