It is equipped with the largest digital camera ever flown in space.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to accomplish the first rigorous census of planets and determine how rare or common Earth-like planets really are. Astronomers associated with Kepler estimate that they could find dozens of such planets in so-called habitable zones suitable for life as we know it, but that it would take about four years to establish their presence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Brethren and friends, the NASA scientists mentioned in this article could save the U.S. taxpayer $600 million dollars if they would open the Bible and simply read the following three passages (there are other passages) from its contents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, <strong>Who spread forth the earth<\/strong> and that which comes from it, <strong>Who gives breath to the people on it<\/strong> [the earth], And spirit to those who walk on it&#8221; [the earth] (Isaiah 42:5 &#8211; NKJV &#8211; emphasis mine).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;For thus says the Lord, Who created the heavens, Who is God, <strong>Who formed the earth<\/strong> and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain [a waste], <strong>Who formed it to be inhabited<\/strong>&#8221; (Isaiah 45:18 &#8211; NKJV &#8211; emphasis mine).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;God, who <strong>made the world and everything in it<\/strong>, since He is Lord of heaven <strong>and earth<\/strong> &#8230;. Nor is He worshiped with men&#8217;s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood <strong>every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth<\/strong>, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the <strong>boundaries of their habitation<\/strong>&#8221; (Acts 17:24-26 &#8211; NKJV &#8211; emphasis mine).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of the above three passages simply state that any life that exists, <strong>exists solely on the earth and the earth alone<\/strong> (note the word &#8220;inhabited&#8221; in Isaiah 45:18 &#8211; NKJV). According to the inspired Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16 &#8211; NKJV), there are obviously no other inhabitable planets <strong>save the earth<\/strong>. And any life on any other planet in our universe, other than the earth, <strong>simply does not exist<\/strong>  never has existed, and never will exist. Therefore, the $600 million dollars that NASA is spending searching for earth-like planets, is a fruitless search, resulting in a fruitless investment  monies that could be more fruitfully invested in the <strong>inhabitants on planet earth<\/strong> (Isaiah 45:18 &#8211; NKJV).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does Extraterrestrial Life Exist?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From a New York Times article dated March 6, 2009, comes the following news story headline: &#8220;Spacecraft Seeks Earth-like Planets.&#8221; Scientists have launched a Delta 2 rocket named &#8220;Kepler&#8221; the purpose being to look for tiny blips in starlight caused by planets eclipsing their suns.
