A New Planet?
I’m sure this isn’t news to most of you, but in case you aren’t a space geek like me: The smallest extrasolar planet – weighing just 5 times that of Earth – may have been found, using a new technique that analyses changes in a known planet’s orbit. Though some scientists are skeptical of the claim, the research team says the new planet’s existence could be confirmed with further observations later this year. Dubbed GJ 436c, the planet orbits a dim red star 30...
Read MoreAnswers to the Friendly Atheist’s FAQ
Answers to the Friendly Atheist‘s FAQ: Why do you not believe in God? Because I have no need for god in my life. My life is wonderful without god; I’m in constant awe of nature and the universe.

I tried to explain and...
