Two strange planets 218 light years away from us may be completely coveredin oceans 500 times deeper than Earth’s. While the planets do not have life, Evolutionist are eager that some  of them will may be scattered in the universe.  

Researchers think that these planets Kepler-138 c and d are relative close to their sun and thus have “dense atmospheres of steam. Beneath the atmosphere, temperatures are expected toreach beyond 200°C and pressures would be at least 100 times the surface pressure on Earth.. ”
