No Room for Intelligent Design in Big Bang Theory
Here again is that majestic, magnificent, mindboggling Hubble Telescope ultra view photo taken last year of a totally blackened sky that reveals a spectacular view as if seen through an eight-foot-long straw. I repeat: As seen through AN EIGHT-FOOT-LONG STRAW. http://www.spacedaily.com/images/hub...-desk-1024.jpg Galaxies upon galaxies upon galaxies, and each galaxy containing multi-millions of stars and trillions of planets and moons, much like our own Milky Way. Astonishingly, no one -- if living on a planet in one of these galaxies -- can see their closest neighboring galaxy with the naked eye. And each star in each galaxy is light years from its closest neighboring star. Imagine, too, that the universe looks like this is ALL directions, and there evidently is no end in sight to such a majestic view when employed the Hubble in *any* direction from earth. Let the Establishment astronomers and space scientists -- the heathens -- continue to downplay the significance of this breathtaking photo, crediting it to a happenstance occurrence called the Big Bang. But the Big Bang is getting to look more and more like the Big Bang BUST every day. One honest opinion that an Intelligent Designer -- or Intelligent DesignerS -- definitely had a hand in construction of the universe makes a lot more sense than the nonsense proposed by know-it-all "scientists," the overly educated bureaucratic buffoons with the alphabet soup at the end of their names. Their biased opinion is that life is an accident wrapped snugly around their desire to protect their vested interests. Here, too, are mountains of deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy, the same accusation as so well fits their physical anthropological brethren. I say it's high time science moves out of the Dark Ages, comes to grips with the false doctrine of evolution and concludes that all sad sack theories -- none based on facts and physical evidence -- had better get out of the way of Intelligent Design, or it''ll soon get steamrolled over. HUBBLE'S DEEPEST VIEW EVER OF UNIVERSE UNVEILS EARLIEST GALAXIES ( Press Release -- March 9, 2004) (A little editorializing music, Maestro) Astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute today unveiled the deepest portrait of the visible universe ever achieved by humankind. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), the million-second-long exposure reveals the first galaxies to emerge from the so-called "dark ages," the time shortly after the Big Bang when the first stars reheated the cold, dark universe. The new image should offer new insights into what types of objects reheated the universe long ago. There it is: mention of a Big Bang, as always, simply meaning cosmologists have no concrete answer, so they keep tossing around a theory short on facts and physical evidence. This historic new view is actually two separate images taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-object Spectrometer (NICMOS). Both images reveal galaxies that are too faint to be seen by ground-based telescopes, or even in Hubble's previous faraway looks, called the Hubble Deep Fields (HDFs), taken in 1995 and 1998. "Hubble takes us to within a stone's throw of the Big Bang itself," says Massimo Stiavelli of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., and the HUDF project lead. Horse****! The Space Telescope Science Institute is not closer to confirming a Big Bang than it was decades ago, and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field photo is being used as just another feeble attempt to convey the message that the universe -- and all life -- had begun on its own. The combination of ACS and NICMOS images will be used to search for galaxies that existed between 400 and 800 million years (corresponding to a red shift range of 7 to 12) after the Big Bang. A key question for HUDF astronomers is whether the universe appears to be the same at this very early time as it did when the cosmos was between 1 and 2 billion years old. The HUDF field contains an estimated 10,000 galaxies. In ground-based images, the patch of sky in which the galaxies reside (just one-tenth the diameter of the full Moon) is largely empty. Well, it won't show "empty" when a telescope -- stronger than the existing Hubble -- is able to peer into that empty, dark expanse of space in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Photo. I assure you it will show millions upon millions more galaxies, much farther away than even seen in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Photo. Located in the constellation Fornax, the region is below the constellation Orion. The final ACS image, assembled by Anton Koekemoer of the Space Telescope Science Institute, is studded with a wide range of galaxies of various sizes, shapes, and colors. In vibrant contrast to the image's rich harvest of classic spiral and elliptical galaxies, there is a zoo of oddball galaxies littering the field. Some look like toothpicks; others like links on a bracelet. A few appear to be interacting. Their strange shapes are a far cry from the majestic spiral and elliptical galaxies we see today. These oddball galaxies chronicle a period when the universe was more chaotic. Order and structure were just beginning to emerge. Boy, are those cosmologists smart. Especially when their basing their science on theory, simply theory. Installed in 2002 during the last servicing mission to the Hubble telescope, the ACS has twice the field of view and a higher sensitivity than the older workhorse camera, the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, installed during the 1993 servicing mission. "The large discovery efficiency of the ACS is now being exploited in sky surveys such as the HUDF," Stiavelli says. The NICMOS sees even farther than the ACS. The NICMOS reveals the farthest galaxies ever seen, because the expanding universe has stretched their light into the near-infrared portion of the spectrum. "The NICMOS provides important additional scientific content to cosmological studies in the HUDF," says Rodger Thompson of the University of Arizona and the NICMOS Principal Investigator. The ACS uncovered galaxies that existed 800 million years after the Big Bang (at a red shift of 7). But the NICMOS may have spotted galaxies that lived just 400 million years after the birth of the cosmos (at a red shift of 12). Thompson must confirm the NICMOS discovery with follow-up research. There is absolutely no grounds for the dating mentioned. Instead of 400 or 800 millions years ago, it may well be 400 or 800 zillion years ago. My, the cosmologists like to toss figures around to suit their fancy. Sheer guesswork, and not even good guesswork at that. "The images will also help us prepare for the next step from NICMOS on the Hubble telescope to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)," Thompson explains. "The NICMOS images reach back to the distance and time that JWST is destined to explore at much greater sensitivity. " In addition to distant galaxies, the longer infrared wavelengths are sensitive to galaxies that are intrinsically red, such as elliptical galaxies and galaxies that have red colors due to a high degree of dust absorption. The entire HUDF also was observed with the advanced camera's "grism" spectrograph, a hybrid prism and diffraction grating. "The grism spectra have already yielded the identification of about a thousand objects. Included among them are some of the intensely faint and red points of light in the ACS image, prime candidates for distant galaxies," says Sangeeta Malhotra of the Space Telescope Science Institute and the Principal Investigator for the Ultra Deep Field's ACS grism follow-up study. "Based on those identifications, some of these objects are among the farthest and youngest galaxies ever seen. The grism spectra also distinguish among other types of very red objects, such as old and dusty red galaxies, quasars, and cool dwarf stars." Galaxies evolved so quickly in the universe that their most important changes happened within a billion years of the Big Bang. Oh, no! Another mention of the Big Bang. Those cosmologists just love those two words. Same as they hate those other two words, Intelligent Design. "Where the HDFs showed galaxies when they were youngsters, the HUDF reveals them as toddlers, enmeshed in a period of rapid developmental changes," Stiavelli says. Hubble's ACS allows astronomers to see galaxies two to four times fainter than Hubble could view previously, and is also very sensitive to the near-infrared radiation that allows astronomers to pluck out some of the farthest observable galaxies in the universe. This will hold the record as the deepest-ever view of the universe until ESA, together with NASA, launches the James Webb Space Telescope in 2011. And, when the James Webb Space Telescope comes on line six years from now, it'll show galaxies upon galaxies in the black patches of sky shown in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Photo. Then the bull**** contained in this press release will be updated, with even more positive identification that a Big Bang is behind it all. Though ground-based telescopes have, to date, spied objects that existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang (at a red shift of 10), they need the help of a rare natural zoom lens in space, called a gravitational lens, to see them. See, they've started already. And it ain't even 2001. However, the ACS can reveal typical galaxies at these great distances. Even much larger ground-based telescopes with adaptive optics cannot reproduce such a view. The ACS picture required a series of exposures taken over the course of 400 Hubble orbits around Earth. This is such a big chunk of the telescope's annual observing time that Institute Director Steven Beckwith used his own Director's Discretionary Time to provide the needed resources. The HUDF observations began Sept. 24, 2003 and continued through Jan. 16, 2004. The telescope's ACS camera, the size of a phone booth, captured ancient photons of light that began traversing the universe even before Earth existed. Photons of light from the very faintest objects arrived at a trickle of one photon per minute, compared with millions of photons per minute from nearer galaxies. Just like the previous HDFs, the new data are expected to galvanize the astronomical community and lead to dozens of research papers that will offer new insights into the birth and evolution of galaxies. I wouldn't exactly say "galvanize" but I would say "petrified," like in "scared of the truth" -- of Intelligent Design. Still, all of the research papers will cling to to theory of the Big Bang, even though it really won't have any more basis in fact. It would be much better if the cosmologists ate some humble pie and simly declared: "We just don't know how the universe came to be." Big Bang theorists have no alternative but to cling to the Big Bang as the reason to eliminate an Intelligent Designer. Instead of peering into their telescopes, they might make more progress searching for answers if they look where the sun doesn't shine. http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/SimplyMagic/sunshine.jpg ================================================= Ed Conrad http://www.edconrad.com Man as Old as Coal (and probably a whole lot older) ======================================== PETRIFIED HUMAN REMAINS, MISC.

Hum, You realise that your views are very narrow, don`t you? I repeat: VERY NARROW. While the big bang theory may turn out to be wrong; just now it is the best theory that we have that explains away what we have observed. You perhaps are not fully aware of all the facts, thus I will suggest you start by reading up on the basics of cosmology. http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/home...bbin/cosmo.htm |

You know nothing of God but I would be happy to tell you if you are interested. Explain it in physics so I will know that you know what you're talking about. Cheers. |
