Seven Earth-Like Planets Found

[Radrook]

And they're only 39 light years away!

Seven Earth-Like Planets Orbit One Nearby Star

Only?

A light second is 186,000 miles.
At that speed it you would circle the Earth seven and a half times in one second. Which is 450 times around the Earth in one minute. Which is 27,000 times around the Earth in one hour. Which is 648,000 times around the Earth in one day.


Yet it takes 39 years to get to those planets at that speed!

Think about it!

TRAPPIST-1 and its planets are 12.11 parsecs away. One parsec is 206,265 times the Earth's distance from the Sun, so our distance from TRAPPIST-1 is nearly 2.5 million times our distance from the Sun.

Think about it!

Very hard to visualize such incredibly vast. mind-boggling distances isn't it? One thing is for sure, unless we boost our speed up to at least a tenth the speed of light we are going to have to restrict our probes to out solar system,'


Those planets around Trappist 1 are sure packed together aren't they?

The sum total of their orbit distances all fit within the orbit of our Mercury!

"Earth like" does not mean it is like our Earth whereby people can live on these planets. Therein lies the deception. Also, they have not confirmed if these planets are actually like Earth in any way. They are still making huge guesses about these planets from far away. The chances of these planets being able to support life by the reports so far seems like a .... "zero." In Genesis God created the heavens and the EARTH (singular). This means that there are no other Earths out there. Sorry to let you down there folks. God and His Word are still true.


...

Nonsense. What do you think heavens refers to?

We are not alone in the universe. Never have been and never will be.

One day the church and NASA will stop lying mankind.

Then there is the owl thing. In the Bible, sometimes the appearance of the word "owls" is in reference to demons. This is crazy because there was a movie that came out called "The Fourth Kind" that links owls with alien encounters. Well, I seen the trailer and not the film, but this is what the trailer's selling point was all about. In fact, I had seen a video from a Pastor about a year or so before I had seen this movie trailer whereby the Pastor preached briefly about how the eyes of an owl are similar in appearance like the eyes of the grey aliens.


...

Your pastor is barkng up the wrong tree here. The Grey Aliens wear a space helmet, hence the big eyes.

How do you know they lied? You talked to a little green man with a big head hiding in your closet?

So he hides his gargantuan head in the small closet while he shoots the breeze? That must really be terrifying!

Perhaps he has seen something...but maybe it's classified or something so he can't share?

 

[Radrook]

You know what would really be terrifying? Travelling a full 39 years to those planets and suddenly finding out that all of them are the size of golf balls.

Not sure why you are so overly defensive in regards to aliens. Are you a big science fiction fan or are you a person who is really intrigued by all this UFO stuff?

Or maybe an alien himself who takes umbrage with being described as beady eyed.

Good way to get mistaken for a burglar and getting brained with a baseball bat.

I believe aliens are clearly a demonic deception. Even a cursory objective investigation will tell a person this. But folks see what they want to see for their own reasons.

I assume you're using the standard definition of "objective" as "agrees with me".

Just sayin'

Being objective is looking at both sides objectively. It also involves following the evidence, too.

Personally I think we should save the discussion on the theological implications of extraterrestrial life until we actually find some.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Is it a coincidence that people who encountered both ghosts and aliens had smelled brimstone? Is it a coincidence that brimstone is associated with hell?

Then there is the whole owl thing. Owls are mentioned as demons in the Bible. Strange that there is a movie showing us the connection between owls and aliens called the fourth kind.

Also strange that there are reports of Christians casting aliens away from their presence in Jesus's name.

Maybe because the demons involved strive to mimic some type of alien technology and not appear as if they were sprit entities? The UFO I saw sported this huge white light on its rim and was diamond shaped. After shining a red and a green light on me-it then proceeded towards the Miami airport where it inflicted confusion on airport traffic with its antics as reported the next day on the local newspaper. One doesn't expect demons to either look or behave that way.
