DISQUS

unshackled: Potentially Habitable Planet Found

  • Court · 2 years ago
    If anyone wants to take a trip to that planet, I'm in. :) By the way, I don't really think that science and Christianity conflict, except for in the minds of some people.

    Well, now the question simply becomes whether we focus our attention on generation-ships, or on better engines. We have, more or less, the capability to get to this rock right now... but the expenditure of funds would be massive, and the time necessary would require the construction of a ship capable of supporting people for many, many generations (making it even more expensive).

    Anywise, I never found science and Christianity to be at odds all that much either, but I have odd views to begin with :).

    I have to agree with Court on his idea about Christianity and Science. I have no problem with lifeforms on other planets and still being a God. This looks like a great study and I would love to see more about this planet. Any other thoughts you have?

    What I was referring to is modernists' idol of science that created alot of problems once the literalists started trying to use the Bible as a science text book.

    I think this discovery is fascinating. I'll have a hard time waiting patiently for further discoveries regarding this planet.

    it is very probable that there could be life on that planet. I believe that we are not alone and that there could be lots more out there than we know

    i agree. i think it's very likely that there is life on other planets. i really do believe there are other solar systems similar to ours, and that life on other planets is not very far fetched at all! i also agree with some of the comments above: i don't think science and religion conflict as much as people think they do.

    I'm trying to figure how they can get to this planet if they haven't even gotten to the moon yet.

    very funny:)

    No question, there is life on other planets. Do I have proof? No. But wouldn't it be mathematically ridiculous to think that earth is the only planet with life on it? Cool article, good perspective.

    Possible but not plausable. I think this world was created specifically for us to inhabit, if there is another world for us to live on I would go

    I am in if you can get a star wars type ship with hyper mega drive so it doesnt take 10 lifetimes to get there.
