New Hubble Images - HiRez - 09/09/09

Great news: they didn't break the Hubble Telescope! And they remembered to load the tape, take off the lens cap, and shoot with the sun at their backs! Enjoy! -- Gary

It's funny how some people find "God" in the very instrument which proves that the Bible is wrong (at least about the age of the Universe!!)

wtf does the hubble have to do with religion and scripture? I can't stand when ppl take something as beautiful as this and smack that label "god made it" on to it. Seriously, it's ridiculous.

Douglas Adams had a better way to put it:

"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"

Ok, this real simple one asteroid a year hits the moon, moon puffs off a little dust and becomes slightly smaller. According to the relative size of the moon and the number of craters we can easily deduce the proper age of the current arrangement of the earth and moons orbit together, approximately 40 to 50 thousands eyars old EXACTLY the age the KJV bible says it should be .

I've been studying this stuff since the 1960's and I can tell you what's out there...more than your mind can possibly encompass - and that's not an insult, it's a fact!

Stop living your lives by what people thought centuries ago. We have science, technology, and evidence. Don't be ignorant and oblivious to the facts.
