13.2 Billion Year Old Galaxy

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/13-2-bil...d-by-nasa/

Quote:Scientists have detected an “unusually luminous” galaxy that they now believe to be the oldest galaxy ever observed. EGS8p7, detected using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope, is believed to have come into existence just 600 million years after the Big Bang, making it approximately 13.2 billion years old.

And nary any fucking god in sight!

That's a damn young galaxy! 500 million years A.B. is not a lot of time for much structure to form.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
