...Habitable...”

They keep using that word.

I don’t think it means what they think it means.

I was mentioning in church a couple of years ago that nothing in the bible precludes God from creating quadrillions of earth-like planets with sentient beings as his imagers just as he did on earth.

The bible is, in fact, earth centric when it comes to the physical realm. It is silent on any other ones. Its story is Earth’s story and his relationship with those who dwell on it.

If we were a degree or two closer to this sun... We'd burn to death... A degree or two farther and we'd be an ice ball.

And don't forget... You need a sun exactly the same as ours and a planet with a rotation exactly the same as ours... I'm sure there are tons of planets like that out there... And of course... They all have the ability to support life which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of different life forms, and just one out those hundreds of thousands of life forms that exist on these miracle planets, is actually aware of itself and has developed to the point where they can travel the speed of light and visit distant galaxies... Something we haven't even accomplished and likely never will before our species is extinct... That is completely plausible... LOL.. Nope... More like LMFAO.

Give your freaking heads a shake... We are alone... God created us and then he broke the mold.

Th-, Th-, Th-, That's all folks!

We should make sure to name one Urrectum to go along with Uranus.

6000 exoplanets, and none of them have chocolate.

Which ones belong to the Vulcans and Klingons and Romulans and Organians and Gorn and Cardassians and the Orion green women planet?...

"NASA’s Tally of Planets Outside Our Solar System Reaches 6,000"

Was it really necessary to distinguish the intra-solar system 8 from the extra-solar system 6000?

“If we want to find out if we’re alone in the universe, all of this knowledge is essential.”

hey ms confirmation bias, this research is rapidly reaching an exponential phase where we can extrapolate maths , planets in the DrakeZone posited against M-Class stars and pretty much demonstrate carbon-based life existed/exists elsewhere — in the Milky Way alone, or even just one planet over. Then drill-down — which are the best Eden candidates for sentient life.
