So we've found more planets that may hold life. Cartwheels anybody?

There are many that may but so far none that do and even if they do we can't tell.

    I think we all would be into this a lot more if it was intelligent life that was found on these planets. Just finding a planet doesn't do it for me.

    Hello O:

    Here's the answer to the BIGGER question you're not asking.

    Now, I'm NOT a scientist, but I CAN add. I've also done a bit of gambling, so I understand odds..
    Given that there are MORE stars in just our own galaxy, than there are grains of sand on EVERY beach in the entire world, AND that there are MORE galaxies in the Universe than there are grains of sand on every single one of these beaches, ONE would have to believe in a TRILLION BILLION to ONE long shot for terrestrial life. I wouldn't take that bet.

    Clearly, the Universe is RIFE with LIFE..
