How Would Science Have Explained A Universe Full Of Inhabitable Planets?

Well if you like science then you can see it all out there in the universe at varying stages of development on how planets formed why they are so far apart and things like that. Of course there's always going to be the unknown, so it's probably a good thing to do a little investigation on your own and listen to the experts.
Sure I could but there’s smart people here who know the answers.

Single planets are incapable of orbiting one sun because gravity is too great? Is that what you mean?
Single planets aren't a problem, but twin suns would be a gravitational nightmare, both to each other and to any planets around them. Christine is right. It would be an unstable system. They'd eventually collide.

In theory yes since God can do whatever he wants as he is not constrained by physical laws and he could manipulate them to overcome these laws.
The physical laws and constants are what they are. They've never been observed to vary. There's no evidence of any god meddling with them.
The universe is orderly and predictable.

She misunderstood. I wasn’t asking about twin suns for one planet.

I just googled how far apart two suns must be in order not to collide. It said around 1,000,000 miles. So if each sun had one planet orbiting it, they could easily be traveled between in a spacecraft today.
They'd be on top of each other from the get-go. How could such a system even form?

If God would’ve decided to make more than one inhabitable planet don’t you think he would’ve made an infinite amount and close enough to each other where travel between them would’ve been possible?
If God decided . . . !?!?! If an omnipotent all powerful all knowing God exists God can determine the number of inhabitable planets in the universe.
I wonder how science would’ve explained such an existence had God made it that way.

By simply objectively studying our universe as whatever way God Created it,
Science probably would have just theorized it in some way. Perhaps science wouldn’t be able to even theorize it. Perhaps it would be too much outside the laws of nature. Maybe that’s by God couldn’t have done it. I don’t know. Maybe somebody here with more scientific knowledge could shed a bit more light on this hypothetical theory. Could a universe full of inhabitable planets, that were close enough together to travel to and from, even exist at all?
Very confusing if not intelligible in terms of science: (1) Science cannot determine, observe or study anything beyond the Physical Existence. If God Created our Physical Existence science simply observes and studies what God Created.

At present potential planets with life are dependent on the suitable environment for the abiogenesis and evolution of life. The current observations have determined that planets with suitable environments for life are rare.
Could God have made it to where trillions of inhabitable planets with suns orbited around Sagittarius A?

God would have made the universe however God determines. Science is simply the observer of how God Created the universe.

Nonetheless, science is a competent, consistent reliable witness as to the nature of the universe God created.
