SciTechDaily posted this
fascinating account of two galaxies that appear ready to collide
with one another. As the article explains, there is no chance. The
galaxy on the left is light-years beyond the closer galaxy NGC 105. The
article is well-worth the read.
However, the most interesting paragraph was the one at the end. I love
it when astronomers and cosmologists are honest enough to tell the
truth. Here is the concluding paragraph verbatim:
Astronomers recently carefully
analyzed the distances to a sample of
galaxies including NGC 105 to measure how fast the Universe is
expanding — a value known as the Hubble constant. Their results don’t
agree with the predictions of the most widely-accepted cosmological
model, and their analysis shows that there is only a 1-in-a-million
chance that this discrepancy was caused by measurement errors. This
discrepancy between galaxy measurements and cosmological predictions
has been a long-standing source of consternation for astronomers, and
these recent findings provide persuasive new evidence that something is
either wrong or lacking in our standard model of cosmology.
If
astronomers reject the eye-witness account of God as recorded in the
Bible, and they cannot perform any repeatable experiments on the origin
of the universe, then they will inevitably arrive at conclusions that
contradict the facts.
If scientists won't even consider the possibility that God created
everything in the very recent past, they are cutting themselves off
from important evidence. How scientific is that?
