Potentially Earth-Like Planet Has Right Temperature for Life


The planet Kepler-22b is a possible inhabitable planet. Scientists have discovered that this planet orbits a star that is much like our sun and keeps this planet at about 70 degrees Celsius. It is still unknown whether this planet has a global ocean on it due to its distance of 270 lightyears away. What scientists are trying to figure out is if it already has life. They figure, if another planet has life, then life is common, and we may find more planets with life on them. I found this a curious discovery. This discovery could show life on other planets and would make it very interesting for a science class to discuss. I believe in a young earth, around 7 thousand years of age. This discovery would probably disprove my belief and make me consider that there are other planets out there with life and God could have spread us out so much more during the Tower of Babel incident. This would be a great discussion in Church as well.
