Earth - a 1-in-700-Quintillion Chance
Nathaniel Scharping, Discover Fri 2016-Feb-26 9:24am

A new study suggests that there are around 700 quintillion planets in the universe, but only one like Earth. … Astrophysicist Erik Zackrisson from Uppsala University in Sweden arrived at this staggering figure … with the aid of a computer model that simulated the universe’s evolution following the Big Bang. …

No doubt as accurate as computer models that "prove" anthropogenic global climate chaos. Unique? Sure. Rare for being inhabited? Hah!

The myriads of planetary systems were all made to be eventually inhabited by many different types of intelligent creatures, beings who could know God, receive the divine affection, and love him in return. The universe of universes is the work of God and the dwelling place of his diverse creatures. “God created the heavens and formed the earth; he established the universe and created this world not in vain; he formed it to be inhabited.”
