Default First, it was The Eye of God, now His Hand?


http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/04/14/space.hand

Now a serious question: the CNN text does not make clear the
distinction between the blue hand and the red object. Please explain
them.

What do they mean by "1700 years old"? Is that the distance from
Earth?

TIA,

-Ramon

? The hand of God ? (thank the lord almighty for making such highly
false colorized and composite astronomy of stacked images so
mainstream eye-candy, astronomy hype and otherwise mainstream media
acceptable)

With sufficient colorizing and image stacking of whatever the human
eye can't see, almost anything can be interpreted to suit.

The religious fruitcakes will interpret anything and everything as an omen,
or as proof of, the existence of some Gawd to whom they enslaved themselves.
They also see the virgin Mary at every corner and also see statues weep and
lastly, they are convinced it is Jebus' face on the shroud of Turin, which
has been
conclusively carbon dated to be much to new for that unlikely event. Of
course,
when your superstitions are threatened, decry the accuracy of carbon dating.

Lead dating is better (always has been).

With sufficient colorizing, forced hue saturations and image stacking
of whatever the human eye can't see without applied technology, almost
anything can be interpreted to suit the faith-based mindset. I bet we
could find a 56 Buick convertible surrounded by all sorts of fancy
star and cosmic stuff, if we only looked long and hard enough and took
the time to artificial colorize and stack everything in order to suit.
