"Potentially Habitable Planet"???According to this Yahoo story, scientists have taken another step closer toward finding the "Holy Grail" of modern astronomy -- life on other planets:For the first time astronomers have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is potentially habitable, with Earth-like temperatures, a find researchers described Tuesday as a big step in the search for "life in the universe."Alien life is key tenet of the "religion" of science. Mainstream science assumes a priori, based on zero evidence, that evolution is universal, that the same random forces purported to have generated life on earth have also created life on countless other worlds. In a hopeless universe without God, atheists feel "alone" and would be reassured to discover aliens, thereby fulfilling the trekkie daydream. However, the idea of extraterrestrial life is centuries old. Even 17th century astronomer Christian Huygens speculated that all the worlds of the solar system should be populated with creatures adapted to those planets. Huygens would be disappointed to learn that, as far can be determined, Earth is the only world known to possess life. The unflinching belief in "life on other worlds" shows that science-minded atheists possess a very "religious" type of faith in something that cannot be directly observed or tested. In this way, they prove themselves to be hypocrites for using that argument against Bible-believing Christians. Leave a Comment Leave a Comment |
