Very nice photos. Very poor conclusions. No good explanation exists because finite human minds have yet to find it. No good explanation existed for the occurrence of night and day until people found out that the earth revolved and turned on its axis. It never ceases to amaze me that the farther out people reach out into space or back into history, the more certain they are in drawing conclusions. They reach out into the most uncertain, obscure areas of study, and then draw conclusions about creation and the meaning of life from it. Why do you suppose this is? The farther away it is, and the greater the time back in history it is, the more certain these people become about their conclusions. Wouldn't it be more logical to base the certainty of life and meaning of life on things that are certain? In drawing scientific conclusions, don't we naturally test and measure the things we are able to accurately test and measure , in order to gain information about the things we don't know? Or do we draw conclusions about the things we can not test or measure, and then apply it to everything else? Science would not have advanced far enough to even make such photographs if people held to such absurd methods.If it is absurd in the realm of scientific method, then it is absurd in the social, spiritual, philosophical and religious realm. Great photo's though!
