Let's be clear: these planets are trillions of miles from Earth and detectable only by inference, not by visual inspection. Astrophysicists think there is just as much chance that the universe as we experience it is a hologram. As far as I can tell, theologians have not even begun to determine how either development (the discovery of life on other planets or that the universe is a hologram) could be incorporated into the Judeo-Christian worldview. Instead, the church is talking about contraception and abortion.
