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.

You mean like the angels already do?

Our present bodies couldn’t exist in that relm. We’ll have to wait until the Lord returns and we get our new bodies that will immediately transfer us out of this limited space-time prison.

It's beyond my ability to comprehend that many galaxies or stars........

I’ve seen these kinds of charts before.

Darn those fools; expecting the clear prophecies of God’s word to be fulfilled; what are they smoking...
