Astronomers have discovered a roughly Earth-size alien world around Proxima Centauri, which lies just 4.2 light-years from our own solar system. What's even more exciting, study team members said, is that the planet, known as Proxima b, circles in the star's "habitable zone" — the range of distances at which liquid water could be stable on a world's surface.

Long after I die we may find out if life could exist on that planet.

I suspect that some methods will be devised to detect life on extra-solar worlds, and that we may see science claim life exists on other worlds within the next 5-10 years, if indeed any exist with reasonably abundant life on it.

I am of the opinion that life does indeed exist elsewhere in the universe. How common it may be, I have no idea.

After all that's gone on here, I don't believe that even God would take a mulligan.

Depends on one's theology. In the big picture, I think everything is fine.

If we are made in the image of God, then it is our destiny to move beyond our space/time continuum. Whether we do that as an individual post death or as a species through innovation and evolution is the real debate.

I do believe we were/are made in the "image of God", but that "image" is not the human form, but rather in the soul form. Which makes complete sense given the evolutionary model of life on earth. Physical life means little to nothing to God. Spiritual life, the immortal soul, is made completely independently of physical life including the bounds and limits of this universe, and that is what God really cares about.

The soul is immortal because it is not of this universe and all it's laws of physics such as the laws of conservation of energy. I believe souls are born of God in a spiritual dimension superior to this universe we currently live in. We incarnate into the inferior human form.

The erroneous assumption among many faiths is that human conception gives rise to an immortal soul, which is an assumption that makes no sense at all as it would mean there is something magical about human DNA that the DNA of other primates and animals do not possess.

No, the reason we are special and loved is not because of our human form, but because we are souls. The human body is simply what the soul wears for a short time. But the human body is disposable, while the soul is not.

And it's why reincarnation is a very reasonable concept, and what I believe occurs. In another context, given that one life is hardly long enough for people to grow spiritually and overcome vices, reincarnation allows us far more time to grow spiritually, which in fact is what the whole purpose of life is.

Eventually, we do indeed move beyond this space/time continuum, though the journey continues onward from there.

At least, that's what I believe as it makes an extraordinary amount of sense in so many ways... theological, philosophical and scientific. Far more than any standard/mainstream theological models common today.
