NASA's Kepler mission has discovered the first transiting circumbinary system -- multiple planets orbiting two suns – 4,900 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Cygnus.

In less than a year since the announcement of the first circumbinary planet, Kepler-16b, this discovery proves that more than one planet can form and persist in the stressful realm of a binary star.

And to think, creationists think the whole vast universe was created for us. Planets that we can't observe or know about without the most advances scientific instruments created by mankind, by overwhelminly non-believing and non-religious scientists, are part of this god's plan? Of course we are just a tiny speck of dust in a vast, vast universe that we can't even comprehend in its' size. It is the height of arrogance to believe the creation myths of the bible or Islam or any other religion explain the universe when they are just ego trips by those who know nothing of science.
