“a septillion — that’s one followed by 24 zeros — planets capable of supporting life in the universe”

A universe that size doesn’t fit in 10,000 years.

You think the universe is 10,000 years old?

I've often thought that, perhaps, Obama is a septillion of some sort.

But I digress:

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” ― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

It does, if Creation involved an instantaneous stretching-forth of the heavens, which the Bible in 5 places so characterizes God's act.

The improbability of life is zero.

There is life, so there is no probability that there not be life.

The probablility of what exists is always 100%.

Why is that?
