Galaxy find stirs Big Bang Debate

"We are looking back four-fifths of the way to the beginning of the universe and the existence of this galaxy string will send astrophysicists around the world back to the drawing board to re-examine theories of the formation of the universe," Francis said. "The simulations tell us that you cannot take the matter in the early universe and line it up in strings this large. There simply hasn't been enough time since the Big Bang for it to form structures this colossal."

Let me help the scientists with this newest obstacle to the selling of a theory called evolution:

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day." Genesis 1:1-5

The Big Bang is a Big Dud. Someday, the smart scientists will figure out what God knows. Until then, we can scratch our heads in amazement at their strange, determined effort to pull the "random clues" of the origin of matter together and make us believe it.
