The Trappist-1, consisting of seven planets that circle a M dwarf star, family of stars that has dominated the astronomy circles. These alien worlds might be bombarded with intense solar radiation and they are probably tidally locked like Mercury in our solar system, with the same side always facing its sun.

Recently, the astronomers who "updated climate models for the exoplanets” have come with an explanation.

At first, since the planets were hailed as uninhabited, Then, water was obviously found in some of them. However, this cannot create life.

Now, we are getting more news of Trappist e: the planet that can hold water on a large scale. However, water and a source of heat can’t create life.

In contrast, our world is special. God created Earth and filled it with life, just like Genesis tells us.
