habitable planets

RE: habitable planets
There's a moon of Saturn called Enceladus.
It has an ocean of liquid water with an ice crust.
As Cassini passed by it detected hydrogen being pushed out into space, which could mean oxygen exists there also.
It's not very big though.
Here on Earth, if we stopped war and spent our money on research, we could possibly find a way to stop the aging process and live here for roughly 10 billion years.

That would be hellish.

Something that I always wondered, so could someone answer me this?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He is punishing the Thetans there ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

That's heaven for a sulphur-eater.

Practice makes perfect.
Oh, wait a minute, he's already perfect.
Mysterious ways?

10 billion years?   The earth will either be swallowed or burnt to semi-molten slag when the sun goes red giant in half that time.

But Given that a star’s life span increases exponentially with decreasing mass, I suppose it is conceivable a plant around a dimmest and least massive main sequence red dwarf star can stay in the habitable zone for 10 trillion years.

Such is The way our universe works.

While I love how much scientific method has advanced our knowledge of the universe. I think we cant get anywhere long term unless we stop investing in war and pollution. Our species really needs to worry about our planet here and now.

I said roughly. :-)

However, I submit that the credible threat of war and the feared consequences of losing wars is the ultimate reason why economic, scientific and technological progress don’t remain isolated sparks but gradually sweep across much of the human society.

Without threat of war, societies that lag behind will clam up rather than bestir themselves to keep up, the advantages of being first movers in progress will diminish and with it incentives to progress, and general progress of humanity will slow to a crawl more typical of the Iron Age than the modern age.
