SCIENTISTS are celebrating the discovery of more than 700 suspected new planets - including up to 140 similar in size to Earth - in just six weeks of using a powerful new space observatory.
Early results from NASA’s Kepler Mission, a small satellite observing deep space, suggested planets like Earth were far more common than previously thought.

How clicks closer or farther from the Sun would life on earth impossible???.. and about a thousand other unique facts as well..
"Self-aware intelligence", being His image, is good enough for me....in which case, my mind is open to the Universe being filled with God's children.
Which would be...........splendorous.
I take it you hate science..
lol...Didn't take long for someone to start accusing people of being witches..So to speak.
What ancient people believed and what was translated many times by people likely is filled with errors and inaccuracies. Other humans likely twisted the events further to suit their own needs. Humans can't even get a story right when their live on-scene...
Did ya ever ask yourself why there are so many different religions and different beliefs?
I'm sorry, that's a hard one to swallow. The galaxy is a very big place (100 billion stars), and it is less than a spec of sand in the Sahara compared to the known universe. The only reason we aren't finding more earthlike planets is because we don't have the technology to see them yet.
Bring on the results, then. Show me another terrestrial planet in a stable orbit in the CHZ of a stable G-class star in this galaxy (I’ll take any spectral color in that class), and I’ll eat my hat.
I hope you enjoy that hat you are about to eat..
Yes, there are many stars in our galaxy, but more than 99% of them are the wrong TYPE, or in the wrong PLACE, or of the wrong SIZE. Read "The Privileged Planet" by Guillermo Gonzalez. Remember, we are talking about "habitable" planets, not some piece of crap moon, tidally locked to its little red flare star, where a small colony of bacteria huddles in a little pond in the weak sunlight.
Well, your fellow atheists do. Please look at Ward and Brownlee's book, Rare Earth. Both are atheists, and neither believe there is, as Star Trek would call it, a "Class M" planet in our galaxy.
God intended for man to multiply and to inhabit the earth now, and space in the future.
But man in rebellion against God, or disbelief of God's word will not get much further than he has already.
God will inhabit the universe with His own children, "replicas," if you will, of His Dear Son, Jesus Christ, in glorified bodies.
Isaiah said, ". . . . of the INCREASE of his kingdom, and of peace there shall be no end."
That His kingdom should have no end is obvious.
But the INCREASE, as well, of His kingdom shall have no end. It will keep on expanding.
Asked and answered. Humanity is fallen, imperfect. We once were better creatures, and now we are broken. Alas, there is only one cure.
Food for thought

The Incredible Design of the Earth and Our Solar System
Exactly right. Christian astronomer Hugh Ross has compiled a list of over 60 different parameters that must be "fine tuned" to get a planet like Earth.
Uh....We are just a tiny backwards planet, where many of the people sit around beating on and killing each other, some eat each other and others think they're superior beings in a universe of trillions of star/planetary systems...
We don't even have the technology to even see detail on the surface of planets orbiting stars closest to us, let alone planets in other galaxies. We found a few so far, that appear would not harbor life, but we haven't started to search yet. There are millions of planets right in our own galaxy, we have not even seen yet.
In fact, we're so primitive, we can't even travel to the planet next to us....lol
Well they are wrong..
As I thought, you’re basically an unbeliever, that choses to ascribe error to the perfect word of God.
Its your life, and your eternity; spend it as you wish!

Exactly my point. Thanks for being honest.
Your ancestors burned people at the stake???
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
lol......You have no idea what I believe, ya fruitcake.
Here, since you're turned this thread into your own podium to preach, you can have it.
See ya!
