Yes, for those who put their faith in evolution this seems as if it’s a freak, random act.

We have not even looked at one trillionth of all the solar systems out there—this partee is just getting started.

Or could it possibly be that there is a Creator who made Earth, the planets, and the stars? And made man in His image?

I enjoy reading about this stuff. However, if we are IT — i.e., the only planet with life ANYWHERE — I would be very disappointed.

To: Red Badger
just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving.
and revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It’s orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it’s reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power.

Well, it’s an awfully big galaxy, and an even bigger universe beyond that.

I would not be disappointed in God’s plan, whether that means life elsewhere or not. Even if God made life elsewhere, I doubt humans from Earth will ever find it in the vast universe, certainly not in my life time. Though the search for it is noble.

hugging them; so close that their sizzling temperatures would be much higher than the known habitability range.<<<

Xcellent! Feel the love! So practical!

Because I do believe God created us to be curious, inquisitive, to seek truth. We were given the gift of choice after all, not made to be robots.

Astronomers have actually located some ‘near earth-size’ planets around some star, but the planets’ orbits would be inside the orbit of Mercury if they were in our system...........

The reason we’re mostly finding giant planets could be as simple as the immense distances to their stars and the still low ability of our telescopes to see smaller planets. We need to rachet up our technology to another level.
