Evidence for God from Science

Has anyone seen this yet? I have a feeling like similar "findings" they will later conclude under further evaluation these planets may not be able to support life.

Yes, I just read it, nothing new really. And even if we were to find other plants with life forms, so what?

It's always funny to me how people get excited over the BILLIONS!!! of earth like goldilock planets possibly out there. Earth like, habitable zone, goldilocks, etc. only means similar size with potential for liquid water. A far cry from the numerous other factors required to support life. And from their perspective, life starting chemicals and reactions would need to be in place, adding heaps more unlikelyhood on the situation. They don't need billions of potential planets, they need 10^1000 or possibly more (I'm winging it here) potential life supporting planets to have a hope at finding life. And then there's advanced life!

I actually think it would be really cool if God made another life supporting planet somewhere out there and created life on it also. And then one day man discovered the ways to space travel to those places. But I really don't think that's how he did it. Revelations describes some pretty far out looking creatures, but I think they're heavenly. Would be really interesting though, if he did. Maybe God went to them also and died for their sins.

Certainly neat. Earth-like planets though? They're simply in the same vicinity of orbit around their sun. Mars according to what I read would also be considered an "Earth-like planet".

I'd love to see another planet with plant-life though, even unique insects and the like. That'd make it truly Earth-like and interesting.

Looks like RTB has a podcast on this. I haven't listened to it yet. Title is 8.8 billion though.

Yes, I see your point. What could possibly be less interesting than the discovery of extraterrestrial life.

I didn't say it wouldn't be interesting, of course it would; I look forward to meeting ET . My comment was more directed at any perceived theological implications. I contend there is none, hence my 'so what'.
