Another blow for Creationism

It was a virtual certainty that we'd find what the Kepler telescope has now found. Scientists knew with near certainty that exoplanets existed as a matter of deductive reasoning long before they could prove it conclusively. The first proof came in 1992 with the detection of terrestrial masses orbiting PSR B1257+12 but the same creationist argument persisted - that of Earth being the Goldilocks zone and that it must in some way have been purposely created because of this. In 2007, Gliese 581d was found to be the first extrasolar planet orbiting in the habitable zone of its star but since Kepler went up it looks as though they're just gonna keep on coming. With the new data coming in, it now looks as though somewhere between 10-20% of star systems will harbour Earth like worlds.

A glance at the universe reveals one undeniable truth - that we are a very very very small part of it. Carl Sagan illustrated this best when he asked that the Voyager probe be turned back toward Earth to take a picture - that picture famously became known as the ‘pale blue dot’ and showed as just a blurry pixel against a vast cosmic background. That some people still have the conceit to think that it was all made just for us is quite simply astonishing. I would ask of them, just look at what's out there, it isn't in proportion. Despite our never having detected life beyond our own world, there's no reason for us to assume it isn't out there and the more we learn about science, the more of a certainty it seems to become. My question for creationists would be this, how would the detection of alien life or even sentient alien life affect your outlook? It wouldn't affect mine, it'd be perfectly consistent with it.
