I was reading on Fox news and there was this story about a big telescope in space that found more earths!

It's reeaaaalllly sciency and kinda hard to understand, but it basically says God created other places for us to live in space! Isn't that great news!!?!

Scientists celebrated Sunday after finding more than 700 suspected new planets -- including up to 140 similar in size to Earth -- in just six weeks of using a powerful new space observatory.
Early results from NASA’s Kepler Mission, a small satellite observing deep space, suggested planets like Earth were far more common than previously thought.
Past discoveries suggested most planets outside our solar system were gas giants such as Jupiter and Saturn -- but the new evidence tipped the balance in favor of solid worlds.
Astronomers said the discovery meant the chances of eventually finding truly Earth-like planets capable of sustaining life rose sharply.
NASA so far formally announced only five new exoplanets -- those outside our solar system -- from the mission because its scientists were still analyzing Kepler’s finds to confirm they are actually planets.
“The figures suggest our galaxy, the Milky Way [which has more than 100 billion stars] will contain 100 million habitable planets, and soon we will be identifying the first of them,” said Dimitar Sasselov, professor of astronomy at Harvard University and a scientist on the Kepler Mission. "There is a lot more work we need to do with this, but the statistical result is loud and clear, and it is that planets like our own Earth are out there."

Just because God didn't tell us about these other earths in the Bible doesn't mean He didn't make them for us!!! God created everything, so He made these other planets too!!! If he wanted to create a million billion earths just like ours he could TOTALLY do that.

Atheists are always saying that they know God exists, but that they just choose not to believe in Him.

That is their choice and I truly feel sorry for them and for the lack of understanding of the Bible. They are only making themselves look stupid!!

When us Christians build rocket ships to go to these new earths, we shouldn't let ANY atheists come with us, since they don't believe God made these new planets anyways!

I think it IS mentioned in the bible but that those that God instructed to write His word used the word "stars" when describing everything out there other than Earth as it was just to vast for their human minds to comprehend.

Genesis 1 13-19
13And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

I'm sure that it didn't sound good at first, but that's actually a good idea. There could be a planet where we can send all of the Mormons to keep them away from us. They would even probably pay for the tickets.

Don't believe everything NASA tells you. The have lied about lots of things, the earth being round, man walking on the moon.

So true, Sister Lisa!

You know, I'm a little worried about this, though. Don't the mor(m)ons believe that, when they die, they'll be given a planet of their own to play Jesus with?

This couldn't be some kind of mor(m)on plot could it?

This is NASA (National Atheist and Secular Association) at its best, spreading lies.

Imagine, if you would, for one moment that any of their propaganda were true. It would mean that God had other sons, when He clearly said Joh:3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

It would depress many Christians of weak Faith, as it implies that God kept this secret from us. It would suggest that all in the firmament is more than the Sun and the Moon and the Stars, yet God is clear on this one.

It would imply that, amongst the stars, that may be over 1000 miles away, there are places where sinning life could exist without a Savior, people without a moral compass, people bereft of guidance – and yet, why would God do that?

No, no, I suspect that these so called planets are no more than bits of dust on the telescope lens.

Maybe we could stay on the earth and ship the atheists off?
