Scientists have detected a planet some 247 Trillion miles away from Earth that apparently has similar characteristics of our home planet (it may have water) and could possibly sustain life (because it is possible that is has water).
This “Super Earth” is 247 TRILLION miles away (scientists contend this is relatively close to us), yet those who spend a lot of time looking into the sky can hypothesize that it has water, has temperatures that rise in the daytime up to 250 degrees, is a heavier planet than Earth, and it has an “extraordinarily deep ocean.”
Did you catch the point that this planet is 247 TRILLION miles away? Scientists can barely see to the bottom of our oceans (a distance that is a lot closer than 247 TRILLION miles), yet they hypothesize with some certainty that a planet 247 TRILLION miles away has a deep ocean and you’ll need a lot of sun screen if you pay a visit.
Without a sliver of doubt, people will readily accept this hypothesis while at the same time, they’ll go toe-to-toe with me regarding the true meaning of Christmas and doubt Jesus’ birth.
