I read that article the first day I saw it - 2 days ago . Its not by any religious organisation so its the plain truth , no bias or predilection .

I am still shocked and I want to know sukkot 's view on this
[b]Lmao... Quite funny!!!

You read the article but didn't understand it or what.... here from the article

It follows research last year, which found that Earth may be one of the first habitable planets in the universe.

Scientists believe when the solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago, only eight per cent of the potentially habitable worlds that are destined to exist had formed.

And the vast majority of planets are yet to be born and may not appear until after our sun burns itself out in another six billion years.

You see? all you needed was simply understand what you read..

The red letters shows Earth may be One of the first habitable planetS not the only one but One of..

second coloured words suggest 8% of potentially habitable planets had formed by 4.6 billion years ago and this 8% derived out of all the planets in the universe amounts to trillions.

So the article even affirmed that earth is not the only habitable planet in the universe contrary to your claim that the earth is the only habitable planet..

This is quite a funny one grin

Are you aware that any internet savvy person can do what the owner of that Facebook page did? If the owner of that page posted that Sani Abacha was shot in the head, would you believe him/her? My point here is, ascertain the authority and veracity of your sources before relying on them. What I found on Google was pure bullshît!

Lol so the person that told me this story years ago and the person that wrote it on Facebook are both lying yeah? Do your research, the story is real.. good night.

Wow . We will surely come to that . But I mean : A new research postulates that only earth has the propensity to sustain life in the entire universe . What's your view on this ?
its true. we are alone as physical entities on earth, but as spiritual entities we are not alone. there are spiritual beings existing in other galaxies and constellations and planets but they dont have human bodies.

I never said I was in support of the article or deemed it tenable . Im asking a question in relation to the new research . More data are need obviously - the research was done by creating exoplanets based on the ones discovered already and that does not provide a representation of every planet in existence



KingEbukasBlog:


You are missing the point . Believing in God is admitting He is your Lord and Creator . Can you provide any compelling evidence that life has no creator .

Let me give you something to chew on .

Scientists recently discovered that outta 700 quintillion planets , the earth is unique . Now if you believe we got the uniqueness of earth - its propensity to support and sustain life -through serendipity then the demise of this planet would automatically mean the nascence of the existence of the universe was a pointless event . Energy was useless , matter was useless , intelligence was useless . Everything is useless .

Do you agree to do this ?

I see your point. On this note, I would say I agree to the fact that everything is useless to the best of present human understanding..or as George Carlin would say, maybe the universe needed plastic and it was incapable of spawning it, so we had to come around and invent plastic. So, maybe everything isn't useless after all since the universe now has plastic.. grin

My opinion tho'.

lol this is a funny turn of events, first off the scientists admitted on guessing based on our 3 abi 4% knowledge of the universe.

kepler planet hunters who are the best at discovering exoplanets havent even gotten close to a billion discoveries, and from the very few they have seen some of them are very strange based on what we experience from this part of the universe

and its also funny that some religious folks are excited about this guessed computer simulated study, because it proves nothing...i know its not even going to survive the scientific community because of its method "wild guess"

so show us where they suggested only earth is habitable

yup as well as God and all his spiritual angels. there is a spiritual world as well as a physical world. when you sleep your spirit does not need to power your body because you are at rest. so at night when you sleep your spirit leaves your body and returns to the spiritual realm to get instructions from the elohim or just to wander around. then when it returns into your body in the morning is when you wake up. sometimes it returns before you wake up and the message it receives is played over to you in your sleep in a dream. or sometimes your dream could just be messages you collected throughout the day replaying itself back to you. but ermmm yeahhhh there is a very vibrant spiritual world we return to when we sleep or when we die and in that world ? we exist in other dimensions

Understand the enlarged words and the succeeding paragraph . There was a research last year that stated that Earth may be one of the first habitable planets of the universe but the latest research disproves that

Superstition is so firmly rooted in the Nigerian culture that there is no respite in sight, 50 years from now nothing will change.

It is heartbreaking for me to see my friends and family organise fasting and prayers to pray for long life,prosperity, protection, energy supplyetc. But then again , It is difficult to discard religion and superstition in a failed society like Nigeria where basic social amenities are non-existent.

Please there is a notion being peddled on this forum by some mischievous Christians that Norway is a Christian country. This is completely false, it is true that on a face value 80% of Norwegians identify as Christians, only 5% actually go to church or are active Christians.

Scandevians (Denmark, Finland, Norway etc) are the least religious amongst Europeans. Conversely poor European countries like Poland, Romania and Estonia are more religious.

Religion inhibits development, it has been shown over and over again. Lying for Jesus will not change this fact


big lie .

I respect agnosticism . You are the rational one . An atheist says he does not know or cannot explain the genesis of the universe and its constituents but he is sure a creator (God) is not responsible .

I've excogitated on those words and cannot fathom the rationality of the statement . Do you find it rational ? If you do , explain

its very true. evidence ? question for you ? besides all the computer generated CGI images do you have evidence the earth is round ? notice not one single real image of the round earth has ever been produced. its all CGI images. and water can never stay on a round surface. its common sense. and no, gravity does not stick the water to the round surface - thats indoctrinated pseudo nonsense passed down from generations since copernicus came up with all that nonsense 500 years ago

This is too much to take . Hold on . If the earth is flat there should be an edge and a "falling off" right ? But this has never been so ... why ?

let me tell you about the ILLUMINATED ONES. all the secrets of this world they hide it as esoteric wisdom in movies. when you watch movies-there are many hidden secrets in them. they pass hidden secrets and messages through their movies cuz am sure you know hollywood is another propaganda arm of the illuminated ones who control this planet. having said all that I need you to go watch the movie the TRUMAN SHOW and they reveal to you what this earth is. its flat and then there is like a glass firmament enclosing it all - which is why they will never allow you to go to the arctic or antartic north and south pole. those areas are heavily guarded. no human is allowed beyond a certain point on this planet. heavy armed guards. why ? because you just may stumble into the real truth and see the glass firmament. wink

lolgrin......first off all i commented from when i saw the link so i might have not seen any subsequent posts

So, my point is the article talks about modelling 700milion billion planets and assuming based on our knowledge of the universe that the earth is unique...whereas this is a poor scientific method....now based on their ASSUMPTIONS their result is accurate, but do you expect the scientific community to accept their result as FACT?

Retarded?? lool cheesy it seems your quick to insult........if you feel i dont get your point explain yourself....if you cant do that ignore

Another propangander from stupid Atheist.
Show me a Successfull country that was not built on religeous values.

US founder by Protestants fleeing Persecution in Europe.

Britain played so much part in translation of the Bible and in leading protestanism.

Germany: Origin of the protestant church and the real Martin Luther.

Italy: Home of Roman Catholic Church.

Spain spread christainity to North and South America
Canada :founder by same people like in US.
Irealand,Norway,Scotland,France,and all European countries .all have a strong foundation of religeon. in Austria the state even merged with the Church.

ironic that all the world richest countries have a strong religeous foundation.US , Canada,Britian. e.t.c
We all know that US and most of European Countries did not develop today. but developed years back when they had strong religeous influence.
are we saying that US founders had lowIQ becos of religeon and yet they have been the richest country in the world for over a century.with Economy 5times that of the entire African Contienent.

Saudi Arabia home of islamic faith. richest Nation in Middle east and arab world.
Japan people worship their own gods. they are not athesists .same with China.

What determines a country's success is the average IQ of the citizens. not culture or religeon. people with high IQ will know how to balance facts and logic with. spirtual issues.
People abuse religeon or make use of it for selfish gains. does not make religeon bad.

Lastly most of the advances in Science where made by men with deep religeous believes.

men like

Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1627)
Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543)
ohannes Kepler (1571-1630)
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
. Rene Descartes (1596-1650)
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
Robert Boyle (1791-1867)
the list is endless.

You see, one issue I have with most conventional Christians is that, they are averse to questions that has to do with logic. When curiosity triggers one to ask a certain question they tag it as blasphemy bla bla.

Up till now, no one can tell me where I was 1000 yrs ago.

am tellin u man. they just want you to believe without facts. even atheists sef arent different from religious people.
