There is to Him no equivalent

I would doubt the initial assumption that they are too far away to reach.

Current scientific speculation is that life may exist on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. Certainly, if it existed, it would not be intelligent, in the sense that we understand, but there could still be life.

As for not having found life yet, we have only been searching with really crude methods for less than fifty years. As an analogy of what we have been doing, if we were looking for missing people in a forest, we would be on another continent, listening for their cries for help.

That's the problem, we only define life as the "missing people" and find nothing, when the forest is staring right at us.

How is it a cop out? I think that the entire solar system will show us more diversity than we thought imaginable. Think of the sulfur based life on the bottom of the ocean floors. Or the cave in Bella Russ where they found life that was not based off of photosynthesis.

God's imagination far exceeds ours. I always look forward to his surprises.
