None. (You have been trolled :^)
Good game. (y)
Cheers brother. 🍻
It's also good to know that you have arrived at adopting some apocryphal teachings on your own learning or through your Church.
This new development moves our agreement level to 60% of overall subjects.

More from Hezekiah:

2:1 - Accentuate the positive; eliminate the negative.
2:2- Love to learn and learn to love.
2:3 - Variety is the spice of life.

When you sit down to eat, pray.
When you eat bread, do so thanking Him for being so generous to you.
If you drink wine, be mindful of Him who has given it to you for your pleasure and as a relief in sickness.
When you dress, thank Him for His kindness in providing you with clothes.
When you look at the sky and the beauty of the stars, throw yourself at God’s feet and adore Him who in His wisdom has arranged things in this way.
Similarly, when the sun goes down and when it rises, when you are asleep or awake, give thanks to God, who created and arranged all things for your benefit, to have you know, love and praise their Creator.”

St. Basil the great.

There is no book of Hezekiah.
Hezekiah is mentioned in the Bible.
So, by apocryphal i assumed that you have some special writings about him? Why did you mention aphocrypa?

Most of the apocryphal books in our Church are based on the era after Christ, not before Christ by the way.

I don't remember where I got the idea of trolling folks with the non-book of Hezekiah, but it was way before this I found online yesterday that was posted by someone in 2007, which verses I think were gleaned from Ben Franklin:

Hezekiah 3:1: “Money is the root of all evil.”
Hezekiah 3:2: “God helps those who help themselves.”
Hezekiah 3:3: “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
Hezekiah 3:4: “Spare the rod and spoil the child.”
Hezekiah 3:5: “Cleanliness is next to godliness.”
Hezekiah 3:6: “A penny saved is a penny earned.”
Hezekiah 3:7: “God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.”
Hezekiah 3:8: “You can be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good.”
Hezekiah 3:9: “It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.”

Those are good sayings despite the troll/joke.
I was asking because Enoch for example is mentioned in the Bible, but the whole book of Enoch onto itself is not part of the apocrypha even on most Orthodox Churches.
The only Orthodox Church who uses the full book of Enoch is the Ethiopean Church.

It has been many years since I read the apocryphal books, but my fading memory thinks both the RC & EO denominations should stick with what we know as the NT (although they might open up some new topics for CCers to exhaust :^)

Question #1: Are there other earths with human life on them?

My answer: I doubt it, although I have seen people say there must be, because there are so many billions of suns in the universe, but I do not understand how one could arrive at an estimate of probability from a known case of only one--US!

Your answer?...
I think your question itself is weirdly phrased. Do you mean intelligent life? Cause humans have only evolved here. Humans originate from earth, we evolved here, God made us here.

Yes, I guess I should have said "human-like", and "semi-intelligent" life.

A triune RQ: Given the fact that California has always had fire season followed by rainy season (my dad even had companion books titled "Fire" and "Storm"), why do the CA citizens act surprised every year when fires are fanned by Santa Ana winds and mudslides occur due to heavy rains on denuded slopes? Or, why have they not constructed sufficient infrastructure to mitigate such natural phenomena? Does the solution require superhuman intelligence?

1. Why do the CA citizens act surprised every year when fires are fanned by Santa Ana winds and mudslides occur due to heavy rains on denuded slopes? Because many of them are actors. Many sinners will act surprised when they wind up in hell.

2. Why have they not constructed sufficient infrastructure to mitigate such natural phenomena? Because they are willfully foolish. When truth stares them in the face, they seek to avoid facing it.

3. Does the solution require superhuman intelligence? No, only logical thinking and willingness to spend on an aqueduct from the water sources in the north to fill reservoirs in the south with pipelines connected to fire hydrant systems combined with back-burning the dry brush when wind is calm.
