So, it was announced today that 10 or so planets have extremely Earth-like characteristics and are in the correct orbits/star types necessary for life. Extraterrestrial life is all but confirmed, so TAKE THAT you damn dirty humanocentrists!
Well, we'll still need to establish life actually is there. The conditions are there, but there are still a lot of other qualities a planet needs to sustain life, not to mention the chances there are that everything falls into place like it did here. It's still very interesting news, though.
It's fox news there by it is all lies, but no in all seriousness haven't we already discovered fossilized bacteria on mars. Thus even confirming that there has been life on other planets (Unless your one of the nuts who believed life originated on mars then somehow got to earth) Next water is the foundation of life (as far as we know it the only thing that a creature truly requires to stay alive) and since it can be concluded that if water=life on earth, then it can also be concluded that water=life on other planets.
So we basically discovered what we knew all along. Take that you idiots who believe we are the only planet with life.

The point still stands that when you have a water world at 72 degrees fahrenheit and sunny all year round that is about the size of Earth with a star that would be able to help it sustain life, there is a good chance that there is life on there.
On what do you base that? Wishful thinking, deceptive language and an artist's impression of said planet?
Its virtually entirely made up of water. It is about the same size of the Earth. It is 72 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny year round. It has a star capable of helping it sustain life.
Until i see life on another planet i will not be total convinced; However going to the fact that the nearest planet with water (water=life) is billions of light years away the chances of me every seeing one is slim, so there for i go with the assumption there is life on other planets (as the universe repeats it self, and there is very rarely if ever an isolated event) However if there is life on other plants, i want nothing to do with them at all.
There are far more factors than these four things, this may be the only planet able to sustain life this may be Rare Earth, and in all honesty it's fine that way.
I don't get Ronald's ideology. Ending all life to end suffering. Can someone explain this looney talk.
Suffering requires life, you remove life you remove suffering. Thus Suffering is a part of life and you can not escape that, the suffering of the masses or the people is enviable to the fact they are alive. The only way to end to end suffering is to end all life.
I don't see how a person who has a life can stand by this. The only possible way anyone can stand by this is if they are a gypsy.
