@sonnenkraft Exaxctly man!, I believe that earth physics and such are laws for earth not other planets. I mean maybe the star puts off a different kind of energy and creates some kind of life that we do not realize

[sonnenkraft]

No one can prove that though... Evolution works different everywhere.

There can be life on almost every planet in our galaxy... and we wouldnt know it.. they are to far out to know..

I personally think that Its more of adaptation than evolution.

I mean.. Like i said.. its how we evolved and adapted to earth?...

sonnenkraft: Life might have evolved in a hostile environment. But it probably didn't start in one.

[sonnenkraft]

astronomers gotta think though,maybe the life on them other planets they think dont exist just might have adapted to the heat in them planets? its how we evolved.

[poodtang1]

forxeveragain: Everytime i think about all the hundreds of planets discovered it reinforces my opinion of how lucky we are on Earth.

video is amazing to think that there are planets that hot in our atmosphere.how do we know if the planets mentioned are still out there when they come spinning of it cicle and hit earth in meteor form are they still to be found.

[forxeveragain]
