I read recently that an honest scientist said that any other honest scientist should start any discussion with “at our current level of ignorance we believe.....”.

No, you’re the one who is mistaken. The evidence that our existence is extremely improbable is very scientific.

That could change with future evidence, but that’s where it stands today.

No. It does not.

Yahuah made the heavens and the earth. Read the opening verses of the Book of Genesis.

He created a firmament over the earth.

He created the stars and marshaled (arranged) them in that firmament. Read Genesis and Isaiah.

Your perception of the “universe” is a product of centuries of brainwashing, and more recently, propaganda from the likes of NASA and their CGI artists.

No offense to you. Almost everyone has been deceived.

This is your wakeup call.

Your response is almost guaranteed to be that you will hit the snooze button and go back to sleep.

Notice that I am NOT including a sarcasm tag.

Your pathway out is simple.

1) Turn away from the darkness (sin).

2) Follow the son of Yahuah (Yahusha, the Messiah).

3) Accept the gift of eternal life that Yahusha bought for you by laying down his life for you.

Blessings to you and your loved ones.

We have equipment juuust powerful enough for us to determine that it isn’t powerful enough to tell us what we want to know.

I’m going to Hooters for a 20 piece medium wings takeout. Get your own celery at the grocery store, they really hit you on the celery. I will get extra blu cheese though. Wonder if there’s Hooters in other galaxies?

If we build a bigger telescope, we’ll find...more.

And the God of Israel is infinitely bigger than the visible and invisible universe.

We are finite. It’s hard to grasp the concept of infinity.

The universe contains 10 to 20 times more galaxies than previously thought.

But ours is still the only one with chocolate.

Georg Cantor made it so much easier for us. If you haven’t already, take just one good math course where Cantor is covered well, and in the end you will understand more about infinity than you ever imagined!

And with all of those trillions of galaxies, our Milky Way is the only one with a planet stupid enough to consider voting for Hillary.

“...what was His purpose in creating a universe filled with trillions of other galaxies, trillions of light years away from our own if his only intent was to create life on our own planet?”

An intriguing question, for sure. I suggest a few possibilities.
1. To demonstrate the infinitude of his power, wisdom, and wonder.
2. To instill in us an appreciation for his love for us (when we contrast the enormity of creation with our own size. “What is man, that you are mindful of him?”)
3. To be explored and inhabited by mankind- either as an original “purpose” (had man not fallen), or in the future state when he restores creation.

Freegards!

Ok, I accept that there are a lot more galaxies, and a lot of them have a nice model standing in front of them too. But what I really want to know, is how many more GTOs are there. Please don’t tell me that a mistake of creation limited the number of GTOs. I couldn’t TAKE IT!

The 62-65 models had several decent power choices from 390-427

All around 400 bhp or better with nice four on the floor hurst

Still great value cars....especially the 390.

The 427 is premium
