Hmmmm. When I hear Earth-sized I imagine.....well, something the size of the Earth. I guess my brain is all weird.
I know, but we cannot colonise a planet we do not know about, right?
Lately I've been rather pessimistic about us colonizing any planet. And these ones Kepler found are too far for us to reach in the foreseeable future, so don't get all excited.
Hm? No, I mean, we spend billions of dollars on icecream, and spend more on McDonalds than on space programs. Even you can agree that is retarded.
T'was just a suggestion. It seems perverse, you and I both know that religion is just a comfort, so why seem so aggressive in you want to remove that comfort from lesser minds? Let them keep their comfort.
No, it's not just a comfort. I don't know about Australia, but in the United States it's also hindering the already pathetic scientific literacy:

PS: I wouldn't mind religion in the least - if it didn't hinder scientific education and/or civil rights.
