Is there another Earth out there?

Is there another Earth out there?

According to astronomers, about half the planetary systems may have worlds where people could live. Current technology doesn't allow telescopes to see far enough for us to study these planets. However, in 15 years or less, we should have an answer.

Do you believe humans will ever inhabit another world? With the current threats of global warming and overcrowding, would you consider leaving Earth? If we colonised another planet, who should be allowed to go? How would we build civilisation from scratch? How could we prevent another global-warming catastrophe? And does this mean there may be aliens after all?

    To boldly go in search of other life.... ?
    To bang it on the head, rape pillage and murder it by pollution and all the careless waste we produce?
    Better to get our own house in order first sir!

    I think you would have to be very naive to think that we are alone in the universe.
    What puzzles me is that millions of people believe in God but laugh at the suggestion of life elsewhere in the universe.
    At least we have proof that there are millions of galaxies out there that could potentially support life, but no proof whatsoever that there is a God, apart from what has been written by 'men' in a story book called the Bible.
