For those that have been following the Hubble upgrade, it seems that the repairs were a success, at least as far as we can tell a week later. Ed Weiler, NASA’s space chief, stated that everything seems to be going well in the first part of the recalibration of the 4 new and improved machines [...]

No it’s not like your sister’s easy bake oven, I’m talking about the search for a planet similar to our own and the three planned “steps” were taking towards that end. The first step is already in orbit and has started it’s mission. I’m referring to the Kepler space telescope. It was launched the late-middle [...]

In case you didn’t know, NASA just had a very successful mission to repair the Hubble telescope. “It needed repaired again,” you ask. Well, yes and no.

Basically, a picture was taken every 20 seconds through the night and then clipped together to make this short video of the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, rising at night. Yet another reason to hit the hiking paths this summer, and making sure [...]

WRONG!!!All it does is prove that there is something else happening that the math has not accounted for. Be that God, a higher being, a substance we have no knowledge of, whatever….. This is the crux of your argument, and yet there is no evidence, only your word and the bad math, biology and premise [...]

The following is part of a conversation I’ve been having on a Cleveland Browns website regarding the authenticity and importance of science and evolution. I have no desire to debate science. Although, if science were proven, in regards to what we are talking about – there would be no discussion, would there? That still wouldn’t [...]

The Miller-Urey experiments were done back in the 50’s and tested the idea that life could arise from the simple building blocks that were present in earths early history. These building blocks were made in the atmosphere, and then collected in the oceans where it underwent spontaneous formation into simple forms of proteins, then cells. [...]
