Life Elsewhere?

            Recently, scientists published an article in the journal Astrobiology in which they ranked every discovered planet and moon according to their likelihood of having life. They organized two different rankings: the Earth Similarity Index (ESI), which measures how similar they are to Earth in their size, density, and distance from the center of the solar system, and the Planetary Habitability Index (PHI), which measures factors such as whether or not the surface is rocky or water, and if so if it is frozen or liquid, the chemistry of the planet, and if there is an atmosphere or a magnetic field. The exoplanet Gliese 581g, which scored the highest on the ESI with a 0.89 (Earth is a 1 on the scale) and a 0.45 on the PHI, had the highest composite score out of all the planets and moons tested. The highest scorer on the PHI was Titan, Jupiter’s moon. Mars was the highest scoring planet other than Earth in our solar system. All of the exoplanets in the Gliese solar system scored highly on both of the indices, and are continuing to be studied by astronomers.

            As the search for extraterrestrial life expands, scientists now have a reasonable order in which to search the universe. The results of the ESI were promising. However the PHI results were quite low, so low in fact that if they were on a standard testing scale, every planet and moon would have failed. The results are especially troubling because the PHI is a far more important test when testing for the possible origins of life and its early sustainability. Moreover, some astronomers doubt the existence of Gliese 581g, which was the highest scorer. The prognosis does not appear to be good if the most likely extraterrestrial “world” to host life does not even exist.

            The main purpose of astronomers is to find extraterrestrial life. Their goal is twofold: they believe the discovery of extraterrestrial life will disprove the Bible and finally disprove Christianity, and to add to the possibility that life arose by randomly by chance (yes that is redundant but it further adds to the extreme uncertainty that life came from non-life). The antiscientific practices that have taken over all science are driving it to its breaking point. Science should be practiced by always trying to disprove theories, and once something cannot be disproved beyond absolute doubt, it can be accepted. Now scientists look for ways to prove their own theories and reject opposition. Biology is fully corrupt. Evolution is built upon false proof, and if any serious scientist tried to disprove it, they could do so without a blink. Astronomy has grown to be the same monster. Rather than accept the Biblical Creation, scientists fabricate ridiculous theories such as the Big Bang and the Multiverse hypothesis to explain how something appeared from nothing, and then how life appeared from non-life. A famous physicist once said that “Astronomers search their whole lives to find the origin of life. After they have looked everywhere, and come to the highest peak of astronomy, they climb on to the peak to find that theologians have been there all along.” Scientists spend their entire lives thinking there is a universe without God, but will spend eternity knowing that the universe exists because of God.
