O.K. HERE'S THE BIG QUESTION? by theFunk
I found some great space shots from the Hubble Telescope this week and they always amaze me! But I also heard a new report on the age of the Universe and it made me think of this question.
The agreed upon, estimated age of the Universe, was 13.5 billion years old up until last month when scientists measured the background microwave radiation left over from the Big Bang. Now they tell us the Universe is 13.7 billion years old. Just a slight difference, but they were able to figure it out and then they refined their date based upon precise data. They changed what they thought was true based upon real data.
They know this because the speed of light is always the same, "light moves at the same speed" no matter where it is or where you find it. Even in the wave above! It took 13.7 billion years for the radiation from the Big Bang to get here, so we could witness it, record it and see it!
Yes, WE CAN NOW, see the radiation from the Big Bang, the first event ever to happen in this Universe. Think about that, now think about this, in the future we should be able to peer through space & time to see the BIG BANG, the actual point of explosion and even beyond (which would be?......)
So as you look at these photos and realize to yourself that these images are actually real photos of some far flung and distance galaxies, Light years away!
Ask yourself this question:
If the Universe is only 6,000 years old as many Born-again Christians believe. How did the Light from the Big Bang (the beginning of time, some 13.7 billion years ago) get all the way back here from the edge of the Universe for us to record in just 6,000 years?
If light always moves at one speed and at that speed, it took 13.7 billion years to get here, doesn't that PROVE that the Universe is older than 6,000 years old.
And doesn't that prove that time as presented in the Bible is wrong, and doesn't that prove that the Bible or whoever dictated the Bible to us was wrong (fallible, i.e. capable of making an error) and doesn't this make that being, NOT A GOD! Wouldn't a true god be unfallible?
So either the Bible is wrong or the god who dictated it to us IS! or both.......
The god who wrote the Bible also gave us this beautiful photo below! take a look.....

OOOPS! sorry that's Oil in the Gulf this week and Forever! Think about it!
late, thefunk
I always look at these shots too, but I've been told there is a good deal of recoloring and manipulation that takes place before they are released to the public.
ReplyDeleteI'd be curious to see some raw shots for comparison, either way the texture of the universe is certainly true and amazing. Great eye candy!
