What I reject is the “science” publishers flagrant denial or ignorance on the vastly misrepresented term “earth like”. In 99.99% of the cases where it is used what qualifies as “earth like” is so insufficiently possible to be truly earth like that it is ridiculous.

True earth-like conditions have dozens of necessary scientific attributes yet “science” publishers allow the bastardization of the term to be tossed about on the speculative assumptions on just a few of them.

Yaaaaah, we’re already here. Some of us are sane and live in a world of reality, then there’s others ……not so much.

The odds of their being another planet like earth are the same odds as winning the lotto a trillion times. This isnt Star Trek. God created one universe for man and one planet to live on.

A habitable planet like ours would probably need to contain living organisms.

The Earths ecosystem was shaped by living creatures.

I could have told them that. A long time ago I wrote an article about just how rare the Earth really is and why it is that rare. I don’t know if I posted it here and I no longer have it (it on a dead computer in some landfill some where). But just think about the moon, it’s because of the moon that we are here and it only took 4.49 billion years.

How many planets can go 4.5 billion years with something really bad happening? Certainly not those closer to the center of the galaxy. To much action there. And not on the edge of or galaxy either we needed more then a few super novas to make the stuff were made up of. Happily we are a just the right distance from the center of the Milky Way for all that to happen. Lucky us.

Life got going fairly quickly once a solid crust was formed and comets delivered the necessary H2O. Kinda make one think that comets contain all the ingredients of life? Hmmm.

I also find it curious that the comets arrived a the perfect time, almost like someone had a plan. Hmmmm.

I’m pretty sure there are not a lot of Earths out there.
