A Tiny Galaxy is Born
phlack writes "New images from the Hubble Telescope show a new galaxy (only 68 million light years away) is in the stages of being formed, despite its neighbors (such as us) having already existed for billions of years. This can give astronomers new insight into the sgates of galaxy formation. Information can be found at the hubble telescope site, as well as ScienceDaily."
Given that galaxies take hundreds of millions of years to form -- the article describes this one as about 100 million years old and still in the early stages of formation -- I doubt that the galaxy has formed yet.

Creationism is NOT a THEORY. In order for it to be a theory, it must be first hypothesized, then tested through experiments. However, since it is based on faith and untestable preconditions, this is not possible!
WAKE UP!!!
If you think I'm wrong, post the name of an actual archeologist who follows this "theory"'s guidelines for performing his/her job. And post an Amazon link to a book detailing the legitimate alternative nomenclature to the flora and fauna that don't refer to their genus and species, because, after all they aren't related..
"In creationism, species are described as "fixed" in the sense that they are believed not to change their form, or appearance, through time."

Why is it that people forget that religion is the source of revelations such as the earth is FLAT, and the center of the universe?
The only good that believing in gods ever did for us, was to give extra time to some otherwise intelligent people by allowing them to be priests instead of getting real jobs. At least they're not full time politicians.
