“[Truly Earthlike planets] are not hiding per se, it’s just that the sensitivity of our telescopes is simply not good enough yet [to find them],”

........... Because they are all here ..... Paradox ....

We’re under quarantine due to the sin virus so they are all cloaked from us so our peering through telescopes won’t infect their sanctified lives!!! Be patient, because soon that will all be changed in the blink of an eye... keep looking up though... and think about repenting.

The distances are so vast that thousands of (Earthling) lifetimes pass between the sending of a message and its receipt and decoding and thousands more before a reply arrives. The first wireless transmissions have only traveled about 100 light years, a tiny fraction of the size of our own galaxy let alone to the next nearest.
