An asteroid belt may have been found surrounding a star much like our own Sun, according to Dr. Charles Beichman of CIT. His team used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to make the discovery. If confirmed, this would be the first asteroid belt detected around a star that is about the same age and size as our Sun. If true, it could offer a rare look at a star system that closely resembles our own.

This article builds assumption upon assumption until they are talking about aliens inhabiting asteroids in a Sci-Fi novel. Although this MAY be an interesting find, how does the speculation that a distant star that may have an asteroid belt, turn into we have found a star system that resembles our own. Also, there is an artist's rendering of what the star system may look like from a potential planet (What planet?).

What's really ironic is the way that scientists accuse people of faith of having incredible imaginations...
