How many galaxies?
Last Sunday I saw a television preacher talking about how just until
recently astronomers believed that there were only about 10 billion galaxies total. He then said that the Hubble Space "Equipment" had recently revealed that there were actually more like 50 billion galaxies. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that figure being upwards of 100 billion galaxies when I was in grade school (early sixties). The preacher was Jack Van Impe, and he was talking about how great the Glory of God must be for there to be so many galaxies. Looks like he's short-changed God's Glory by at least 50 billion galaxies. Seems like quite a bit to me. Reckon these guys ever have a clue when they talk about science?
