Life Beyond Earth
Since life began on earth billions of years ago, it has adapted to its environment, including the extremes of heat and cold. That does not imply that life could have begun at these extremes. The great unanswered question is whether life could have begun on other worlds having very extreme environments initially. The article does much to bolster the faith in a Supreme Being who is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the universe in its entirety. There are undoubtedly vast millions or billions of heavenly bodies capable of supporting life of some form, by chance or by some divine reasoning. However, the odds of life creating itself are preposterously low.
The Italian word canali, define what he saw on Mars in 1877, means narrow waterways, natural or artificial. But in English there is a distinction between a natural waterway and a man-made one of this.
