For all my interest in what science has revealed and may yet reveal, the possibility of other life in the universe has never captured me. Already, humans have discovered “new life” many times — always ending in massacre. I say, leave ’em alone at least until the armed and the powerful on the planet can figure out how to get along.

For the first time astronomers have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is potentially habitable, with Earth-like temperatures, a find researchers described Tuesday as a big step in the search for “life in the universe.”

Planet 120,000,000,000,000 miles away.

I am sort of curious though, whether Jesus Christ or Mohammed, has any influence over there….
