Somebody better get to work on some kind of warp drive or something. I ain’t getting any younger.

I find this very interesting. I also believe we are in the last days before the end of “The Times of the Gentiles” here on earth; and Christ comes back to straighten things out.

Methinks the people who claim to find these other “worlds” are desperate to find some evidence that Earth and the Human Race and everything else do not represent a Special Creation and that this and all these other worlds just happened by chance; and that there is not a Holy God to whom everyone must give an account some day.

Bottom line? I think whether or not they’ve found other planets doesn’t amount to diddly! And according to 2nd Peter, it is doubtful whether anything in the heavens as we know them will remain as it is when God finishes cleansing this sin-cursed creation and his Eternal Reign begins.

“(2Pe 3:10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

(2Pe 3:11) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

(2Pe 3:12) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

(2Pe 3:13) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

(2Pe 3:14) Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

(2Pe 3:15) And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;.....”

  Astronomers have discovered a planetary system containing at least five planets that orbit a star called HD 10180, which is much like our own Sun.

  A solar system containing up to seven planets orbiting a sun-like star has been detected 127 light years from Earth. The planetary system is believed to be the largest ever discovered beyond the sun. Astronomers have confirmed the presence of five planets and have tantalising evidence of two more. And it comes as Nasa has said that it plans to make an announcement about an 'intriguing' planetary system that it has discovered using the Kepler space telescope Kepler looks at the telltale 'wobble' as planets pass in front of distant stars and, earlier this year, astronomers announced that it had...

  Astronomers have discovered a group of at least five planets – with hints of two more – circling around a star in an arrangement similar to our own solar system. Confirmation of the extra planets would make this the highest tally of alien worlds ever spotted around a single star. The planets and their own sun-like star are about 127 light-years from Earth, astronomers with the European Southern Observatory said. It is one of just 15 planetary systems known to have more than three worlds. The five planets circle their parent star, HD 10180, in a regular pattern like the...
