Organic Molecules Found 400 Light Years From Earth

light can go from earth to the moon in less than 2 seconds

Apollo astronauts took 3 days, IIRC the fastest rocket/spacecraft has taken ~ 8-10 hours.

And that 2 seconds is just for light, in 10 hours it is past Pluto and a light year is how far it goes IN A YEAR.  It's a long way !!

No kidding, the size of our universe is yet another reason I cannot swallow the idea of a magic sky wizard. Mostly empty, and hostile to life. It took 40 years for just 1 man made object to get out of our solar system. Considering humans have lived most of their existence in scientific ignorance and only the past 150 years has science really taken off, he wants us to believe all this was put here for humans.

Fine, if he wants to test that theory he can take a rocket to space and take a space walk, take his helmet off and find out what a grand "design" all this is.
