Item from the Associated Press -- "A team of planet-hunting scientists say they've discovered a planet 20 light years from earth that could be the most earth-like body ever found."
What does this mean? Newly discovered planet may be habitable? Well, the dudes who should know, the scientist, right, are hinting that this new planet is just right for life?
Reports the CBC --"Astronomers believe they have found the first Earth-sized planet outside our solar system that is likely to support liquid water and therefore life.Planet "g," which orbits a red dwarf star called Gliese 581, is right in the middle of the star's "habitable zone," reported a team led by Steve Vogt of the University of California Santa Cruz and Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C.
Two of the planets previously discovered around that star were right on the edge of the zone around the star that has the possibility of supporting life, giving them only a small chance of being habitable..."
Yeah, yada, yada, yada.
What does this all mean? Alien space ships? A real alien threat? The tripling of the size and wealth of the military-industrial complex to meet this Planet "g" threat? Maybe the Newt-ster (Newt Gingrich), will quit ranting about Muslims and America being taken over by sharia law, and start ranting about space aliens, the newest red menace?
We have no evidence that there are people on Planet "g" and their skins are red. The Newt-ster doesn't have any evidence to the fact either, but facts or lack of them have never slowed down that motor mouth of his.
Anyhow, will the Newt-ster now rant of Planet "g" aliens, threatening to force us, Americans, to speak a language as difficult as Klingon?!
But the big question is: What does this have to say about God? Two planet earths, maybe?
My answer: Two planet earths? Why not? The Good Lord, after He made us, threw up His Hands and said, "Oh my Self!" And He went off somewhere else and tried again. Well, what did He expect, when He gave us free will?
