Did anyone else notice how many galaxies are in number 10? The just keep showing up as you look at it. Every time I see pictures like this I am even more amazed that anyone with intelligence can believe that chance caused a universe with such complexity and physical laws that we still don't truly understand.

Thanks for the link. My husband and I watched an hour long video of images from the Hubble a few weeks ago. I took my breath away. Our pastor has been preaching through Genesis, and a during this same time, we were going through Noah and the flood. The pastor made a comment, "Think of the size of the universe. Now think of our tiny world covered in water and a little coffin-shaped box (that is the dimensions of the ark) floating around on top of the water. And God remembered Noah."

When I thought of that sermon, it gave new meaning to the verse "God so loved the world."

Hmm, the first image is clearly an artist's interpretation, but I dont see it labeled as such.
