Meanwhile in the world of science

The work of God is quite flexible, isn't it?

Yes Mister Sir

And not a hint of sarcasm.

Seriously, astronomers/astrophysicists/astrobiologists/etc, find life. I'd love to hear the religious try to justify such a finding.

I have discussed this possibility with a southern baptist, his answer was that the bible does not explicitly say that god only placed life on earth so finding life anywhere else does nothing to disprove him/her/it.

Actually.....

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Gen. 1

"Earth" is the only place named... and then the Invisible Sky Daddy sat back on his ass and said it was "good" demonstrating that he didn't know shit because he later felt compelled to drown damn near everything and start over.

"God" is a bit of a fuck up.
