  • And that designer's name is JESUS.

  • Projectguy: With all due respect;there's absolutely nothing arbitrary or axiomatic about anything that is mainly based on theory and/or speculation as is the assumtion of life on other planets merely because there're so many of them through out our galaxy or universe for that same matter.On the other hand one should speculate on the subject in question based on our complexity as life forms,the ingredients that need to be of precise and exact measurement combined to form us.We have a designer!

  • @jnthnwilliam Google astrobiology. Some academic research will do you good.

  • as soon as the guy said "i'm an astrobiologist" i knew this was a creationist video

  • To make a sort of qualitative conclusion (there must be many worlds of life like Earth) based on, if you will, quantitative information (there are innumerable worlds 'out there') is an apples and oranges way of dealing with the issue. This conclusion is by no stretch of the imagination scientific and, again,is utterly biased and arbitrary as is so much of what passes for science today.

  • The assumption that the number of worlds being so great makes it axiomatic that there are worlds of life like Earth is completely arbitrary.

  • @Videos4USArmy

    You also have to agree that even if there was 99 trillion Earth-like planets it still gives us no idea if life was created on any other planet in any mathematical probability without knowing the mathematical probability based on the elements & conditions of how life originated here on Earth. The conditions for life's origin could be opposite the condition that sustain life now & therefore the planets that look less likely to sustain life be better candidates, we just don't know.

  • @WILLTHEWGMAN I agree. However the chances of a Earth like planet existing exactly like our own is 110%. The chances of a Earth like planet in general, just in our galaxy is 110%. We have found just in 2 years with the Kepler telescope, 1035 planets, 68 of which are Earth like (confirmed) and 54 of which are in the habitable zone but can't be identified to be neither Earth like, nor gas giant. And those are just the ones we can observe, there are probably dozens of small ones we cannot see.

  • Any estimate of a chance of life anywhere is pure speculation in fallacy. How can one arrive with an equation for the chance of life on any given planet without knowing what the origin of life was on our own planet? Did someone assume that Earth had a 100% chance for life to come into being just because it does have and can sustain life? Without knowing the origin of life and how that mechanism works there is no way to quantify an equation of probability to living organisms even here on Earth!

  • @salmagnum heheh yeh sorry something about this program got to me^^
