DarkMatter2525 recently posted a video that I thought I would share here. The title of it is "Creationists Fail Again."
In the Wikipedia Kepler article, in the section "Extrasolar planets detected," is the following: Based on the latest Kepler findings, astronomer Seth Shostak estimates "within a thousand light-years of Earth" there are "at least 30,000 of these habitable worlds." Also based on the findings, the Kepler Team has estimated "at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way" of which "at least 500 million" are in the habitable zone.
As DarkMatter asks in the video: "Still feel like it was all put here just for you?"
Since there are plenty of habitable planets obviously the next question is: How common is life, especially intelligent life like us humans?
I don't believe we are alone in the universe and based on Kepler's findings we probably aren't alone in our galaxy. Perhaps we have some neighbors closer to us than we think. Let's just hope they are friendly. :)
Time for some links. The first one is obviously the Kepler web site.
The next is the news article: Kepler: NASA Finds Earth-size Planet Candidates in Habitable Zone, Six Planet System.
And lastly: From Big Bang to Us -- Made Easy -- "This series explains the scientific evidence for our origins, from the Big Bang to the human migration out of Africa, in a way that most 7th-graders would understand. It challenges people who believe we were created by a deity 6,000 years ago to confront the evidence instead of ignoring it."
