Yeah, I know that the colors are used to help us distinguish certain features that we would not be able to “make out” in a “normal environment”...
We see that when the weather people produce those nicely colorized pictures (by computer, of course) of the rain and snow and and clouds and so on.
We get to “see” what is going on. And I’m sure those pictures make some pretty patterns, too — in those weather graphs. But, mainly they are used for “seeing” patterns easier.
And so, I do know that’s what they are doing with these space “photographs”.
I just don’t want people to think that this is actually how God made them and that’s the way He intended for it to looked. It was mainly the way the artist intended to give you a “perception” (from “his viewpoint”) of how it should look.
I do know how they are doing this..., and so it doesn’t escape me. And I also know that God made all the physics and mathematics involved, and God also made the “creativity” of the artist who “painted” the pictures for us, too and enabled the artist to pick the “patterns” that the artist thought would be the “most interesting” for us to look at.
For these pictures, I have to praise the artists and the people who reconstructed the data to make them into “pretty pictures”... since they did a marvelous job.
Good. I think that’s my perspective, too.
