@wolfwing1 here's food for thought, in 2007 there was a "rough audit" done on the catholic church's finances. it was estimated that the revenue amnt held by the catholic church could PAY A 3YR STAY IN A 5 STAR HOTEL FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET. how's that for having the power to mitigate hunger, disease & poor education, but showing how blindly they say screw the faithful, the more faith they have the fuller our coffers get!!

Stargazing lead us to the big bang theory. It gave us an understanding of how atoms are formed. From stargazing we have mapped millions of stars and galaxies, exploring the universe in the only way we currently can. With stargazing we can spot incoming asteroids and it gives us a chance to react, preventing the destruction of complex life on this planet. Building houses on a dusty rock with no atmosphere doesn't even come close.

Ok.
I still stand by the fact that "telescopes look expensive" is not a very good argument.
Mathematics departments in university get more funding than astrophysics departments (simply because they're much bigger).
You either have some idea of the relative cost of space exploration and mathematical research, or you don't.
If you do, please give at least an order of magnitude. The argument would be easily resolved
If you don't, then don't act all superior with your blind conjecturing.

End of this conversation. You just jumped over the idiocy line.

I just said that I don't have any figures and am just guessing.
I looked and couldn't find any figues, so I just made a guess.
It's well known that media coverage of events is proportional neither to frequency nor impact.
Unless you have compared the actual figures at some point, you're also just making a guess.
-
Mathematics is expensive? Do you have any figures or are you just dreaming? The magazines and media are filled with the millions and millions of dollars spent for equipment for the star gazers every day. Why would you ask me to do the research to support YOUR assertion. Please don't be lazy.
-
Do you have any figures?
I can't seem to find any, but I would guess that the global budget for mathematical research is larger than the global budget for stargazing.
-
Really? Math and string theory require millions and millions of dollars in equipment? I never would have guessed this.

It's knowledge of the universe, and life and what is out there, anything that increases our knowledge of our place in the universe is worth it's weight in gold, much better then spending money on churches and stuff to propogate propoganda I say.

heh my mom criticized the LHC saying they were wasting billions of dollars when they could be helping starving children in Africa and such, and while I get her point, my response was, then the christians and such shouldn't waste the money on churches, and preaching to others, and put that to helping improve the world. Imagine what could be done with all the money the catholic and other churches get every year.
