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?

Asked and answered. Humanity is fallen, imperfect.

Exactly my point. Thanks for being honest.

If humanity is fallen and imperfect, yet made in God's image, does this mean God is "fallen" and "imperfect"? After all, God created us this way. Did God not understand exactly what they were doing? Or did God make us this effed up on purpose?

Silly arguments that really have ZERO to do with the topic at hand. The numbers purport to show mounting evidence of there being any number of solar systems in our own galaxy that offer us many interesting avenues for potential exploitation. Even if they aren't perfect Edens, there could still exist quite a few planets that could allow us to expand beyond where we are now.

This is a VERY good thing.
