Hubble Telescope

[Theland]

NASA has announced it is thirty years since the Hubble telescope was launched.
It has revealed the true wonders of the universe.
Brings to mind Psalm 19.

[SparklyKid]

Not to me,lol.

[Theland]

No surprise.

[gingejbee]

...and there's a programme on BBC2 9pm tonight to mark the occasion...with lots of "must see" images.

[SparklyKid]

Hi Theland, hope you are well. I don't do the bible thingy or any other works of fiction.

I like Bill Bryson books.

[Theland]

So do I.

[naomi24]

I'd find that more convincing if our scientists suddenly spotted a great big eye looking back at them.

[AuntPollyGrey]

lol!

30 years already? Amazing ...

[Theland]

Nothing Hubble has discovered contradicts the bible.

[naomi24]

I think you'll find it's discovered rather a lot that isn't in the bible, Theland.

[Theland]

You are right.
The bible is not a comprehensive study of cosmology, but what it does say is not contradicted.
''God stretches out the heavens,'' (Job), the expansion of the universe.

[naomi24]

Well, the sky stretches out above us - anyone can see that - but 'expansion'. Aren't you pushing it just a bit Theland?

[jim360]

Theland has to push it because God's taking a break from the expansion work. Probably furloughed like the rest of us :)

[Theland]

''Stretch,'' suggests an increase in size. Yes?
B

[jim360]

There is neither any reason nor any need to suggest that the Bible anticipated Riemannian Geometry.

[Theland]

Jim - Gods' work is key, He won't ta!e a day off, or leave it to contractors :-}

[drmorgans]

Maybe some alien lifeform on a planet light years away is looking in our direction through their equivalent of Hubble and wondering if there are any other intelligent beings in the heavens.

[Theland]

It didn't.
I didn't.

[Theland]

DeMorgan's - Do you think they will find any?

[rowanwitch]

Not here they wont
