Probability of Origin of Life by Chance just went way UP.

[Givemeareason]

A habitable planet has been discovered a mere 1400 light years away. Considering our tiny galaxy spans a 100,000 light years but still has a hundred billion stars this indicates a dramatic increase in the likely number of habitable planets. Our galaxy may be full of them. If life originates by chance, the more habitable planets the greater the odds that life will originate. You guys believing in a 6 day creation event better start rethinking your positions.

No.

They found a planet the size of Earth.

In fact:

We know of just one planet where life exists -- Earth.

[Givemeareason]

No.

If fact:SOURCE

You are referring to a different planet in your source. The planet I am referring to revolves around a star similar to our own and in a similar time. The point to be made though is that with each successive discovery of planets and Earth like planets, it statistically increases the likelihood for more of the same. If we discovered a mere million or more worlds in our galaxy the chances of even just one having life keeps growing. Yet when such a world is discovered the number of other worlds without life will point even more to the likelihood that life comes into existence by chance. It appears that God at least likes to play dice. If everything were intelligently designed there would be no need for all those lifeless planets.

Has SETI's search reached to this distance?

This doesn't nothing to solve the water paradox. I have no doubt there is life in the heavens as I bet my soul on it.

In order for the lottery jackpot to have a higher probability of being won you only have to sell more tickets. Whether or not this other planet has life, or even intelligent life, has no bearing on the ultimate probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe.

 

[AV1611VET]

Keep looking.

What water paradox?

How would life on other planets change anything?

What is the ultimate probability of life existing elsewhere?

We are only looking for habitable planets with the possibility of life, not intelligent life. Once life developed here it did not progress beyond single cell life for 2.9 billion years. SETI looks far further than this.

It would not for me, but for you and your six day creation it would have a great impact. It detracts from the whole idea of intelligent design as I said before.

Dunno about that. ID on Earth or ID on another planet could be equally possible.

How would it affect the six day creation?

What if the opposite is true? We find 1000 of planets perfectly suitable for life, but no trace of life is found to exist on them, what would you think then?

Good question.

 

[mmksparbud]

They also said that this planet is older than the earth---don't know how they would know that--however, I am waiting for the pictures of the life there being far more advanced than ours, seeing they are older and have had far more time to "evolve" than us.

What water paradox?

The water paradox is you need water to have physical life but water breaks down many of the necessary bonds need to create life the begin with. Water naturally dissolves organic matter.

How would any fact change anything about religious beliefs - especially fundamentalistic ones?
