Good stuff.

Now I submit to fellow Freepers a question. How liable are we to find a planet inhabitable by advanced life orbiting a binary star system? I'd submit to you that the tectonic activity on such a planet would render it unsuitable (though we do need a limited amount of tectonic activity). Plus, the ever discussed "goldilocks zone" for water becomes harder to achieve. (Though liquid water is only one of many requirements for a habitable planet.)

Thus I submit to you that the knowledge that most stars our sun's size or larger are binary stars is yet further evidence that a Great Designer made the system we live in. I'm simply not religious enough to be an atheist.

Don’t say “we”. If you find it, you’re liable for it, not me!
