Religion is for other people, ideally. Unless it's some charlatan behind the wheel people are thinking of others when they think of God(s). Maybe they get tired of lacking in faith and meaning and go with a kind of system of guesswork and gamble with it. With persistence. That's consistent and courageous.

Then there's the social religion just for appearances once a week.

There's a link between skepticism and faith, one believes without proof and the other won't believe until they get proof.

There was an article a few weeks ago about scientists finding a planet where they least expected. Orbiting one star in a trinary (3 suns, is trinary a real word, or did I just make it up?) system.
They actually named it Tatooine.

Scientists said they never expected to find a planet in that kind of system, so it opens up a lot more possibilities because a lot of the search for planets was where they expected them to be, and now it seems planets could be found in many other areas and diff kinds of systems.

just found the link

See I wasn't making it up

Yep, I remember that - that was great. Everytime people think they've figured out the universe it throws them another curveball. I think triple star system is the correct term, but whatever.

Ah, that's so exciting. I look forward to sitting down someday and reading the encyclopedia of other earths.

See I think this kind of thing is more better than manned missions to Mars.

Altho I suppose we'll have to try that out someday.

Me too. I say to hell with manned missions for the next decade. They're not even close to worth it and private industry does a better job of it anyway.
