thankyou very much for writing your thoughts. My dad has a telescope n we talk about galaxies and planets, so i think about this a lot
That's cool.
I'm planning to do my masters in something space related, probably researching. I like everything about the universe from a young age, need to get a telescope though.
this is just my simple opinion but God created ALL the planets, correct? Obviously there IS life on earth, so who's to say God did NOT create some sort of life forms on ALL the planets? I agree with Utah, I just can't imagine that God's creation of life only exists on Earth. There may not be humans on any of the other planets, but certainly SOME form of life must exist, otherwise why even create any planet BUT earth. jmo
Yep, you have got a point. There are just so many galaxies out there. But by far what we know, earth can't survive on it's own. Earth is at a perfect distace from the sun for life. Any closer or any further to the sun wouldn't have allowed us to inhabite the earth. And I think every other planet close to the earth played a role in shaping the earth. When scientists studied the history of all of this, they found out that several asteroids and meteors collided to shape the planet, and most of the planets around the earth are rocky, made from those meteors I guess. Even black holes have a role in the stability of the galaxies and unltimately, the universe.
Now for all of this to form, it took many years according to man's calculation. Those many years could have been the days mentioned in Genesis where God made all of that we see. Days can be years for God. So yep, other heavenly bodies in the universe do have a role in making the earth the way it is, so maybe their purpose wasn't life, but to shape the earth. I can only speak for the close by planets.
I still don't understand how your comment relates to the topic and....no statistics cant be used to prove anything unless the issue is probable. So statistics reporting 100 car accidents..... u cant use that to say all cars cause death...but u can use it to say 100 people were killed last month in a car accident. I said there were billions of stars with even more planets. The law of probability says its quite possible life is on those planets too. Astronomers are searching for planets with an atmosphere and evidence of water. I hope this answer helps
Certain planets similar in size to the earth have been found which have a sun similar to ours and also have a similar distance from their sun like the earth has from it's sun. So they predict that water should be present as Hydrogen and Oxygen that make up water are abundant in the universe. I think those planets are called Keplar, with some numbers added to that name.
