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."

    It seems you got it, but you didn't get it. Ie., You're completely right and have sound arguments to support your opinion. My banner was intended ironically, but in a sense, it shows that the SETI is based on belief, rather than science just as well as any religion.

    Personally, I belief it's far more likely SETI will yield proof of ETI than worshipping any divine being, but it's good to realize that my belief is just belief, not science.

    Wow, coward, I'm impressed that you follow me so closely.
    Btw,the article you are referring to was in reference to a kaleidoscope, but you probably can't spell that word.

    Nice try on the burn, though.
