Oh, so in the vast known Universe, which reaches out for 15 BILLION light years in all directions, with over 100 BILLION galaxies, containing an average of 100 BILLION stars each, with most of those stars now thought to have multiple planets orbiting around them, you can't imagine that there would be at least ONE little planet SOMEWHERE with the right conditions for life without divine intervention?

Can you prove that orbiting a few thousand of those trillion trillion stars there aren't other planets on which he has also created life?

Copernicus's posthumous fame, of course, arose from his 30 - year project published soon before his death, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium - a revolution indeed, in which he explained his calculations that proved that the earth and planets orbit the sun, rather than the sun and planets orbitthe earth.

For example, William Paley, already in 1802, in his treatise Natural Theology, pointed out that if the law of gravity had not been a so «called «inverse square law» then the earth and the other planets would not be able to remain in stable orbits around the sun.

«THE END OF DAYS is near» January 1213 the earth will wobble causing earthquakes, lava will spill all over the earth the oceans will rise changing the topography, the atmosphere will be consumed, our planet will die and orbit just like our mom, a gusted, dust, desolate planet.

Odds of me being me on this planet orbiting this star?

Around each star, there could be anywhere from zero to thousands of planets orbiting.

Picking his way expertly through three centuries of scientific history, from Newton on gravity (the force that causes apples to fall and planets to stay in orbit is the same), through electricity and magnetism (aspects of a single reality), to the present search for a Grand Unified Theory, he argued that the coherence of the physical universe progressively uncovered by science points to a «unity principle» at its heart.

After a lot of time on a small planet orbiting a minor star at the outskirts of a nondescript spiral galaxy, out of those billions of billions of planets, had the right conditions (right energy and matter flux, etc) for biology to emerge from chemistry.

We are a Goldie Loc's Planet 2 - we got the right of land to water ratio 3 - the moon is at the right size and orbit to prevent the earth from wobbling 4 - the gas giants in our solar system do a great job at cleaning up roaming ice and rock that is flying around our solar system 5 - right distance from the galactic core.

I can explain climate change as a result of a natural cycle caused by the masses and orbits of the planets, but I don't go around calling believers in humans causing climate change idiots simply because I know what actually causes it.

To measure the orbit of a planet we must record not only the position of the planet relative to us but also the exact time we observe the planet.

But when Johann Kepler and Newton measured the movements of the planets relative to the sun, their orbits were seen to be ellipses.

Ronald Dworkin writes of «undiscovered planets» whose gravity moves the orbits of the known planets this way or that.

Calculations indicate that in several ways it is quite an Earth - like planet: its radius is 1.2 to 2.5 times that of Earth; its mass is 3.1 to 4.3 times greater; and, crucially, its orbit lies within its star's «Goldilocks zone», which means its surface temperature is neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water - and therefore potentially life - to exist on its surface.

It is one of six planets discovered around this star, all of which have near - circular orbits.

Like conic sections, which had to wait nearly two thousand years for their first important application in Kepler's description of the elliptical orbits of the planets, perhaps the trinitarian conceptuality, at least with regard to the problem of transcendence and immanence, first comes into its own in our situation.
