If Earth was just a centimeter closer to the sun, we would burn. If it were a centimeter further, we would freeze. Earth is the only place in the universe that has water on it. It's fascinating how slim the chances of us being alive are, amirite?

That thing you said with the centimeter is myth designed to play with naive heartstrings. In case you didn't know, the Earth's orbit is elliptical, meaning we're not always at the same distance away from the sun. Our distance varies very often, and it's MUCH larger than a mere 1 centimeter.

Thank you. Now I don't have to type it. Can I point out that 1cm would mean if OP stood his/her toes they would die.

It amazes me how many people believe this kind of shit. All it takes is an ounce of common sense to realize "hey, this sounds completely made up and illogical".

First, there is water in space: http://www.space.com/12400-universe-biggest-oldest-cloud-water.html Second there is an entire planet outside our solar system covered in water: http://m.voanews.com/152342.html

1.there's an enormous body of water in space that's enough to give each person on earth the equivalent of Earth's water 78 times over or something like that 2. I think we would live a centimeter farther or closer to the sun...

okay this is going to turn into a theological debate...i can feel it. i believe that God created the universe perfectly and it is nearly impossible that all this happened on its own. however, "one centimeter" is an exaggeration, because all the planets shift slightly in their orbits.

While I don't believe any god(s) created the universe, thank you for using your brain! Unlike OP.

You know that the reason for a lot of water on earth is because of meteorites right? That means that the same thing probably happened else where in the universe you also know that they found water on mars right discover this like 1 month ago or something
