Maybe we should name it “CLARISSA”.......
Astroboffins Type 1A supernova Ping!..........
Explain everything? Well, sure I can. You know, we can’t bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell ‘em stories that don’t go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you’d say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
LOL! One of the greatest soliloquies of all time! OK, not really, but it made me laugh.
Romans 1:22
Professing themselves to be wise they became FOOLS.
It doesn't explain EVERYTHING. It doesn't explain the recent overuse of the word "boffins" by the press.
Really. OK smarty boffins. Explain women.
You graduated from the Hemingway School of Literary Arts, I see.................
She explained "it all," not everything. There's a difference.
Alright, now that is kind of funny.
Explain everything with the popcorn theory?
Not likely. Watch this!

I wonder how many of us here can name the original speaker
But, but, but ...
The Universe is only 6K years old?
Or is that just the Earth, and the Universe is 6K+5 days old?
I’m confused.
Was there something in the article that suggested these scientists were attempting to draw conclusions about creation that goes beyond the role of science, or are we simply to take Romans 1:22 as an instruction to oppose all science?
Perhaps they are Christians. Perhaps their study of astronomy is motivated out of a desire to enhance their (and our) understanding of another part of the same chapter. Romans 1:20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made.
I simply do not see where the scientists were "professing themselves to be wise" or where it is acceptable to call them fools.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Now if they determined that it was a Higgs boson particicle- now that would answer some questions.
