Anytime scientists discover a planet that might be slightly earth-like or even earth-sized, they get excited about the possibility of finding life. But does “earth-sized” mean life?

You need liquid water, the right gravitational pull to hold onto an atmosphere, the right gases in that atmosphere, the proper distance from the sun, the right kind of sun, and so much more!

All life was created by God. It didn’t evolve!
