When I mentioned that the Kepler telescope has identified a system of 6 orbiting planets...I was just thinking: if scientists look out into the sky and see stars and then they say essentially that what we're seeing is from a long time ago because it takes so long for the light to reach us, then how are they so sure the planets they are looking at are still really there? (as you might surmise, I don't really know enough about all this to word all this right....)

They don't know they are still there, they know they were there, and in all likelyhood are prolly still there.
They don't even know they're planets, there's 'something' there.
A theory, plucked out of my goofy imagination:
A few years ago these planets didn't exist, but the mind believed in them. They began to materialize, tulpa, thought forms created by the mind. In the future they fully materialize into planets and at that point we have the technology to know that, yes, they are there, and have been for billions of years. In fact, one of them is the planet we lived on before, when we boarded 'The Big Space Ark' Steve Martin spoke of.
While we made the journey to this world aboard The Big Space Ark, our 'bodies' were kept in cryogenic stasis, while our minds were kept in The Virtual Reality Matrix.
