The Milky Way galaxy has approx. 100,000,000,000 stars and it's 1 of approx. 1,000,000,000 or so galaxies. So this nitwit is ready to conclude there are no more "earths" after a very crude form of investigation of 110 planets around 25 or so stars that at this point can ONLY, ONLY detect Jupiter-sized planets.

Utter rubbish from a pseudo-scientist who had to work hard to find something to write about.

Well said.

Jupiter is not habitable: it is too cold, and is mostly composed of dense gas. And it is unlikely that extrasolar giant planets would support life either.

This type of thinking always amazes me. Yes, life that evolved on Earth has adapted to the conditions found on Earth, no surprise here. Would it be so surprising that life elsewhere in the universe would adapt to the conditions there?
