6 planets around the dim, slow burning star TRAPPIST-1, have the temperature to permit [almost better, longer] "everlasting life" in paradise. This distant "sun" will give light for another ~ 10 billion years, unlike our sun, which is already half done., with only ~ 4 to go.
everlasting, overlapping life on our planet: naturally impossible. ---
on planets c-g not proven, but likely to last twice as long so: happy overlapping.
Do the JWs wonder if that system had an earth-like planet with an Adam and Eve, a Satan, a Jesus, the issue of universal sovereignty. Do they think there must only be life here?
It's only a matter of time before extraterrestrial life is discovered.
It will probably be bacterial - complex eukaryotic life is far less likely. Given the right conditions the emergence of life is inevitable.
In the 60s we used to imagine that we might be able to travel to other planets ( with the help of jehovah of course !! ) as we reasoned on the purpose of the vastness of his creation.....i guess a conditioned mind can take take you into realms of delusional madness !! Lol
There will be a new heaven and earth.
Why not?
Uncauntable planets...

Overlapping solar systems - I like it.
Maybe the "other sheep" will be hopping on space ships to travel to new homes every few billion years.
B-a-a-a-a-h!
we might be able to travel to other planets Fairlane,
or be resurrected there.
cofty, with 6 of Trappist-1's planets amenable to life, but separated by 100 of 1000s in km of hostile space, evolution would have a hay day, the galapagos of the milky way.
There will be a new heaven and earth. Gorby, these planets will be still new, when the earth is gone.
Do the JWs wonder if that system had an earth-like planet with an Adam and Eve, a Satan, a Jesus, the issue of universal sovereignty. Do they think there must only be life here? Yanthippe, No they don't, we have that unique privilege in the whole universe, talking snake and all.
I am more interested in the orbit spacings of these close planets, it is showing a regular pattern, like our planets, but not doubling, and not light minutes and light hours, but 4- 8 light seconds apart.
Ha ha ha ha!
Yeah, King Jesus gave up on earf and went searching for greener, or more orange, or redder, or bluer pastures!
Let's say that alien life is found tomorrow. I wonder how JWs would face that.
If they were human-like aliens, and they die, then why do they die and are not perfect? If they have no religion, why not? Why don't they worship Jeebloober?
If somehow they don't have the issues we have on earth, doesn't it mean "people" actually don't need Jeebloober?
If humans could go live with them at their planet, isn't it just a easy way out of the great tribulation?
