STEVE NJ – while you think you are COOL & SMART in bashing Christian Conservative, on the note of the “seven days” … God also says in His word to anyone who would listen, that to Him, “a day is as a thousand days and a thousand days as one” — TIME is a tool and not a constrant to the universe’s creator. A “God evolution” or not, there remains the condition of ones eternal conscious/soul. If you would refute good and bad in the world, then it is YOU with blinders on. There are more “Jesus followers” in science than not.

If the distance light travels in a year is a “light year”, and you multiply it times 20, what we’re seeing happened 20 years ago, right? “They cannot see any of these worlds; instead, they measure how much the planets’ gravity causes their star to “wobble” in space.” WHAT?!

When I read my first astronomy book in the 2nd grade, the human race knew almost nothing about the Universe. In my life time we have orbited the earth, landed on the moon, sent probes passed all the planets except Pluto, it was a planet when Voyager was launched, and now we are finding planets around distant stars using detective measures that would make CSI proud. In that same time nothing new has been learned
about religion except that most of the stories In the Bilble have been proven to be inaccurate. Research on the Dead Sea Scrolls, suppressed for years,
has put new light on the vague meaning of the scriptures. And stop hating on Obama, you lost, get over it. Even if we sent Hanity, Beck and O’Rieley into space there still wouldn’t be any intelligent life out there….lol

The point in finding it is not for Human habitation. But in search of life outside our planet. I can’t wait to find that. Just think of the societal changes that’ll come about.
And just because it’s year is 67 days, doesn’t mean it has bad seasons. It’s tilt may not be large enough to give noticable seasons. Come on people, have you already forgotten 2nd grade? A planet needs a tilt on it’s axis of rotation to have seasons. Not a 365 day long year. And so what if it has a 12 day spring or whatever, if life evolved there, it evolved to deal with that. It wasn’t put there for us. How arrogant.

I have to agree with tendergroins on this one. So what if a planet can hold water? If a planet has no stable “seasons,” how can anything grow, unless it is stuck in eternal spring/summer?
Also, the g-forces on this planet are probably astounding. 7 times larger than Earth, you say? Do the math, it doesn’t look pretty.

Christian Conservative,
I think your only problem is that NASA may actually prove that evolution is TRUE and that God did create the Universe with “A BIG BANG” and then allowed us to evolve, and not “IN SEVEN DAYS”.

Quick! Inhabit it, subjugate and drive to extinction any life forms, plunder all natural resources, cover the surface in McDonald’s, McMansions and Megachurchs then look for another habitable plant to occupy and destroy!

NASA must need more money from Congress.
They did the same thing a few yrs back by saying they found a Mars rock that had a fossil of some type of worm.They got the money from Congress and the went,oops…My bad.
They think people will believe anything.
