Looks to me like a ghostly ring of no matter.

Look at all those galaxies, we are not alone.

John 10:16:
And I have other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring and impel those also; and they will listen to My voice and heed My call, and so there will be [they will become] one flock under one Shepherd.

Considering the age of the earth and the speed of light, this is probably what we look like from 5 billion light years away.

Now you're getting into a whole new area of speculation, eh? Gravity waves, maybe?

—Is this an explicit admission of tweaking data to support preconceived notions?—

Very similar to the Globull Warming scam.

There’s a great sci-fi story about aliens rushing to earth because they knew, from their scriptures, that the beings there were created in God’s image, had personal visit from the Son, etc.

They were sorely disappointed when they got here. Contemplated anniliation, thinking perhaps humans were invaders . . . then just going home deeply saddened with decision to lie about what they found.

We will be if the telemarketers get to them first.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve decided to make the announcement of my recent discovery here on FR in regard to dark matter.
