Billions and billions.
When the goofy Carl Sagan presented Cosmos we were seeing images we had never seen before. But now, after all these years, we’re seeing the same images. Sure, they’re farther away and have different shapes, but the entire universe seems to be made up of cold big rocks and flaming big rocks.
What they’re really looking for is a second planet that has life, because that would be another nail in the Creation narrative. They fawn over every instance of water that “may have been” present on some other empty rock because, for them, all life needs to exist is a little water and billions of years and viola!
Very good point. All the science stuff on the new Cosmos has been on Sci, Smithsonian, or Nat Geo channel a million times.

...can’t put my finger on it, but I somehow think you’re just stringing us along with your comment...
“What they’re really looking for is a second planet that has life, because that would be another nail in the Creation narrative.”
I totally disagree. OK, THEY might take that as a “another” nail, but that would be an erroneous conclusion. God can put life on any planet he wants.
