 Awesome. And humbling, which is a sentiment creationists don't really understand it seems.

Awesome.  I don't know things like this manage to make me feel completely humbled and elevated at the same time, but they do.

So if 5 Earth size planets exist in the Goldilocks zone of their star (and assuming that is a representative distribution) and Kepler has examined just 1/400th of the sky that implies that there would be 2,000 Earth sized planets in Goldilocks zones within the range of Kepler.
