- goerg, on 08/29/2008, -0/+17no we just need some kind of ship that goes faster then light...
maybe this will be a bit harder to get...
strange, when america was discovered they had the ships first and THEN the map (plus 50-100 years or so). today we already have the map, but no ship... - jake86, on 08/28/2008, -2/+12Stars, Stars everywhere...
I think the possibility of trans-galactic space travel is now something to consider.
We have a map now! - laughandsing, on 08/29/2008, -2/+9What does that even mean? Christians believe in the Universe. In fact it was a Christian who came up with the big bang theory.What does your statement have to do with anything?
- jamesmudgett, on 08/29/2008, -1/+7I'm still amazed that anything relatively still represents all other bodies. That milky way picture looks like a representation of an atom.

- BigManOnCampus, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Amazing and scary. It's easy to believe that our galaxy shape isn't perfectly flat and simple, as we have evidence of recent collisions between our galaxy and others (large and small megallanic clouds in the southern hemisphere are galaxies that our galaxy "ate"). However, if there are these other "streams" of stars, than there truly is the possibility of our system colliding with another one, however remote that may be, if our galaxy is that complicated, then it is less remote.

Proper Citation is one thing. Cutting and pasting an entire article is something else entirely (I like to call it plagarism). - laughandsing, on 08/29/2008, -2/+5First of all, are you telling me that Catholic's aren't Christians?! I for one am a catholic and a Christian.
You also need to work on your vocabulary. Genesis says nothing about God creating only one planet. The Vatican has stated this and has stated that it believes that there may be life on other planets.
Your comment had nothing to do with the article. All it is is prejudiced rhetoric.
It is also very mature to call me an *****...very good way to have people listen to your point. If you want to have a discussion have one. There is no need to act like you are 12 or that you have been repressed in some matter. I have no problem with atheists. I only have problems with the selection that is prejudiced and who think that they are better than the other 99% of the world who believes in a higher power. Take your prejudiced statements somewhere else please. - bigH16, on 08/28/2008, -2/+4brilliant point!
- inactive, on 08/30/2008, -0/+2------------Christians have had the majority of political power in this country since the country was formed----------
You need to go back and take third grade history.
Our forefathers of this country were Deists, NOT CHRISTIANS. And they created a SECULAR constitution which protects us from Religious oppression and wave after wave of ignorant fvcks like yourself. If we were under religious law, it would remove the right for people to come to their own conclusions about what is proper for their life.
See how you are an ignorant dick talking our of his ***** now?!
So tell us self-appointed, self-righteous *****, what is it I'm missing out on? You have no follow up for it. Your attempted belittlement of me points out your lack of faith in your own belief system....
This becomes especially obvious when you dont deal with my statement about "Yesterday's Flat Earthers are today's Christians".
Its apparent you cant keep up with the conversation, is it the language? confrontations? or simply the truth that you struggle with?
Your "response" is not a rebuttal. Please respond to my points, or don't respond at all. These ad hominem attacks only give the impression that you disagree because you want to. If you have any disagreements with what I said, state them. Otherwise, would you be so kind as to not click "Submit Comment" next time?
Thank you. - Belin, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3Did you know that the Big Bang theory was immediately ratified by The Pope?
- inactive, on 08/30/2008, -0/+2----------You sound like a Dawkins clone, although I am sure he makes more money than you ----------
Your post is just another example of an ***** hypocrite christian trying to demonize anyone who stands up to your brand of bullsh!t.
In my experience, you are either intellectually dishonest or simply not smart enough to carry on an honest and intelligent debate. It seems you have NO interest whatsoever in scientific debate. It seems all you care about is re-affirming your superstitious beliefs of disturbing stories of hell and damnation and devils and eternal suffering and ramming them down the throats of unsuspecting children.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong about this. But so far I haven't been. - inactive, on 08/30/2008, -0/+2------------First of all, are you telling me that Catholic's aren't Christians?! I for one am a catholic and a Christian.--------
Simply put you are ignorant to your own religion.(Its not uncommon). Either that or you are just plain lying.
Catholicism and Biblical Christianity are divergent religions. They are built on different foundations, and they propose different ways of salvation.
-------------I only have problems with the selection that is prejudiced and who think that they are better than the other 99% of the world who believes in a higher power.----------------
WTF do you get the authority to speak? OUt of your ass?! The MAJORITY of the world does NOT believe in Bible-God. They Believe in ALLAH. (Some "crediblity your religion has when another "God" is winning by faaar!)
Your attempt to provide credible weight to Christianity or Catholicism is embarrassing you and shows your ignorance to religion in general.
Believe whatever you like, but if you want me to believe it then provide evidence or expect mockery and ridicule. Do not expect polite debate. Religion has been given too much liberty to murder and enslave humans while hidden in the garb of "Faith". It and whoever believes it does not deserve to pick the fecal matter from my ass. Politeness is out the door by far by now.
I don't give a damn what brand of ***** anyone believes until those beliefs begin to turn into laws and campaign platforms, you've overstepped the boundary separating church from state.
Thats what happening in this country. Don't expect politeness, Nutbars. - alpharaptor, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2"a jumble of pasta" His Noodliness is all around us and people still beg to a jewish zombie that was his own father to grant them wishes.

- oldhick, on 08/29/2008, -2/+4You really are a moron. I read your hate filled rhetoric often and get a chuckle out of it. Eventually I imagine that you'll actually make some heartfelt or meaningful comment that will reflect your decency and humanity, but it never happens. Just more and more hateful rhetoric.
Just a little FYI, Christianity has been a round a lot longer than 100 years and will be around for a lot longer.
I'm genuinely sorry that some peoples faith is so offensive to you. It is certainly true that many Christians can be genuine jerks and that often they are misguided or fail to understand their very own Bible, but there is no need for hatred, bitterness, anger, and intolerance. - buhny, on 08/28/2008, -2/+3breath-taking to contemplate..
- oldhick, on 08/29/2008, -2/+3------------------ I don't think anyone is persecuted any more than anyone else so don't lump me in that boat. And I used the word "moron" not out of hate but to describe your intellectual capacity.
And again to show your lack of knowledge and intellectual capacity, Christians have had the majority of political power in this country since the country was formed (not just the last 8 years).
Further, I agree that the Christian Right deserves a big "shut up". Not because I'm intolerant of their individual faith but because they've taken a personal faith and tried to impose it on others.
I've never thumped the Bible and I'm not preaching to you or anyone else. So while I address your comments and points directly, you may continue to make wild assumptions and childish speculation about how I live my life.
Instead of acting in the exact same fashion as those you ridicule (hateful, small minded, etc...), why not try to set an example of how you wish people would live and behave. Its sort of ridiculous to condemn a group for being hateful and intolerant and ignorant while you behave exactly the same.
Good luck to you! - realestateloop, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1Their has to be more life out there! Just has to be.
- brettg102, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1We are all going to be sucked into the Super Massive Black Hole at our center...studys show it is again beginning to feed! (alarmist I know)
- yayster, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1one atom. maybe it is. one atom that is part of a molecule. a molecule that is part of a larger compound, that is just a piece of dirty, underneath the pinky fingernail of someone walking about on a planet of their own, in some remote solar system, of an even larger galactic image, that resembles a lone atom....
- inactive, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1My God! It's full of stars!
- tripledjr, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1And 20 years from now.
We are actually part of a helix formation of galaxies.
And 10 years from then.
We are part of a DNA strand.
And 10 years from then.
We are a DNA strand in one Chuck Norris's sperm...
..DUN...DUN....DUNNNNNNNNNNN - HisNameIsChris, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1More than a few years I'm afraid cheezintern... try a few centuries or millenia. However, I suspect it'll be within it will be within our reach before the year 10,000 which is a short amount of time considering the size of the task.
Unfortunately I suspect we will probably have to sacrifice one or more giant planets in our solar system in order to have enough energy to send two humans, the entirety of the human knowledge and basic materials to start up civilization in some kind of dome (terraforming technology will be too heavy in my opinion) - EricCiccone, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1Isn't it amazing how every year we get more and more information on how our galaxy looks like, and each time they add on to it, it seems more and more apparent how unique our galaxy is compared to others
I've seen many pictures of galaxies that have merged with other galaxies, or ones that are in the process of merging, but none seem to have as many cosmic trails of debris and stars like the Milky Way. It's truly incredible! - o0joshua0o, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1One thing I've always wondered...
Are we (humans) small or large? I mean, we are definitely a lot bigger than some things, and a lot smaller than other things, but I wonder what our actual "size" is relative to everything else, on a theoretical objective scale of everything in existence. It's kind of a difficult question to convey, so I hope you understand my meaning. - cheezintern, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1as long as we don't destroy ourselves first, it's only a matter of time before we have some kind of engine that will take a ship those great distances...of course it'll be a few years.
- wyattxp, on 08/29/2008, -1/+1"A theoretical model of a galaxy like the Milky Way"
- Zippo, on 08/29/2008, -1/+1A shame we'll never to explore any of these within my lifetime... :(
- fx666, on 09/02/2008, -1/+1I went through plenty of scientific debates showing that the evolutionary theory is a hogwash. Apparently, you have not read any of my postings.I cannot conduct an experiment proving that God exists, but I can present other kind of experiment showing that the the reincarnation is a reality.
- SimpleAlex, on 12/31/2008, -0/+0very interesting.

OMG you Christians are so "victimized" aren't you? You're just the innocent little by-standards victimized by the big bad Atheists, huh?
But you know what, Corky, Christians have taxless insane asylums on just about every corner of America preaching death and destruction to millions of people on as many corners as possible re-affirming their superstitious beliefs of disturbing stories of hell and damnation and devils and eternal suffering and ramming them down the throats of unsuspecting children.
Oh but you idiots are soooo persecuted!
Its is because of Christians that the GOP have had the majority of the political power in this country for the last 8 fvcking years so I think, wait...yes that's correct, you are todays grand prize winners of a lifetime supply of "Shut The ***** Up!" It goes great with pork and and hot air!
But keep waving the flag Corkey because your bigotry is nothing to be ashamed of, and to thump the bible because your ignorance is a virtue. You should cherish your hatefulness and small-mindedness as they are family values. You are not society's rejects, but rather, you are higher on the ladder than certain other people. Right-wing radio points them out so that you know who to hate to feel better about yourself. - fx666, on 08/29/2008, -2/+1You sound like a Dawkins clone, although I am sure he makes more money than you are by selling his books. Anyway, what this ranting has to do with the galaxies? You are getting just as incoherent as Dawkins was at your age and, probably, more *****-up..
- alibanana, on 08/29/2008, -4/+2God damn. I read that as 'New Milky Way wrapper' and got all excited.
- Andrwmorph, on 08/29/2008, -5/+3Wow. That sure is relevant to the article.
(I do kinda agree with you though) - Eezyville, on 08/29/2008, -5/+2We do have a ship. Its called Earth. From Earth we observe the galaxy and make eduacted guesses on whats going on.
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -5/+2--------Christians believe in the Universe. -----------
Oh, we're now tossing out your "Creation" story in Genesis, great!
Listen *****, the bible isn't a salad bar, so you can't pick and chose what parts you want to believe in, while telling everyone to ignore other parts. It's all or nothing.
Your comment isn't even relevant to my point. It is a religious misrepresentation of another religion. Compounding a wrong interpretation with a wrong concept.
In all reality, you're just another nutball know-it-all that obviously doesn't have a clue what the Bible says nor believes half the ***** in it. You are a "just in case" kinda guy that just recites the same old Nancy boy verses that his Pastor regurgitates in his ear every week.
Funny how Christians only interpret the Bible anyway they seem fit. Funny how they interpret it to justify their intolerance, their own politics, their hypocrisy and the self-righteous bullsh1t they impose on others huh?
FYI, it was NOT a Christian who came up with the Big Bang theory, it was a Belgian astrophysicist and Catholic priest. Go look it up, I am sure you will... - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -10/+4Yesterday's Flat Earthers are today's Christians
And in 100 years from now Christians will be just a small fringe group of lunatics, perverts, psychotics, derelicts, retards, criminals, pedophiles and insane people.
Look in the mirror Christians. Today's Christian is really yesterday's Flat Earther. - fightingforair, on 08/29/2008, -10/+0I thought they were talking about milky way candy. :-(
