Well, I guess but even if it's tidally locked the equator should have life maybe.  (August 26, 2016 at 10:21 am)LastPoet Wrote:(August 26, 2016 at 1:57 am)Bella Morte Wrote: So educate me, AF.

Unless the planet was knocked into a spin and has a moon, then that could influence it's tidally locky-ness. Or whatever the fuck. RE: Planet Found in Habitable Zone Around Nearest Star

We have the ability to launch a space probe on a trajectory that would escape the solar system and eventually arrive at the ball park, more or less, of many of the potentially habitable planets we know of. So yes, we can get to many of them. The difficulty is the process of getting there using current technology would take anywhere from tens of thousands of years (to Proxima Centauri) to millions of years (anything more than 100 light years) after launch. Which discourages present investment in such an endeavor. 
The naturalistic model forecast a slew arrival of life’s beginnings, however there was a sudden arrival. Earth’s origin is 4.5 bya which would fit within Carl Sagan’s billions of years required for complex modules to arise from a primitive environment. However, isotope ratios non-fossil carbon established that life was abundant on earth at least as far back as 3.85 bya. Between 4.5 - 3.9 bya, the Sun’s solar ionizing radiation was 50 times higher than present. So life appeared suddenly within 100 mil years.
God needed only one human type species on one planet to fulfill His purposes. Earth is the center of the universe; it originates information.
Atheist Credo: An universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.

It really is mind boggling how - bam - just a measly couple of hundred million years later, suddenly stuff has happened!  But still, why do you think life couldn't have originated earlier?
