Earth is unique and just right for humans indicates a divine plan

This is only the start considering the number of sun like stars in our, and in other galaxies! Watch out for life coming at you whichever which way, with no old or new testament known to them! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Astronomers reported Tuesday that there were at least five planets circling a star there known as 55 Cancri, where only four had been known before, making it the most extensive planetary system yet found outside our own. It is also the one that most resembles our solar system, with a giant planet orbiting far out from the star and four smaller ones circling closer in.

Amazing that it only seems to interest you insofar as it relates to the Christian Bible in one way or another...

That's the most prevalent that display obvious errors!

Given that how do you think "Earth is unique and just right for humans indicates a divine plan" relates specifically to the christian bible? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Define 'divine' please, unless you're talking about a metaphor.

This exhibits the lack of understanding I've come to expect from your posts.

There is, to date, not a single reliable estimate of the chance of abiogenesis on any single site. If this datum is in fact epsilon, as math types understand it, then you may multiply it by any number of potential sites and you still have no chance of abiogenesis.

Wait, what? Because there is no reliable estimate of a chance that means the chance has to be zero? That don't make no sense. If it is non-zero, which it probably is, then it does matter how big a number you multiply it by.

Learn to read and relate. Then return.

It isn't. We can describe physical models according to which there's a finite positive chance of biological molecules forming spontaneously. And, by extension, of an entire cell forming spontaneously.

But these findings have little bearing on the debate over creationism - hell, the whole question of "how likely is it" is a red herring.

At least one of us has the good sense to admit uncertainty.

I've made an awful lot of money in my life knowning exactly what I don't know.
