It's Fucking Amazing

[Tiberius]

Ok, so this is a thread where you can post pictures of things from science that are (to quote Eilonnwy) "Fucking Amazing". Starting with the original:



I add:











Add your own. I use this site to make the "motivational poster" type images. I also realised I seem to prefer images from cosmology over anything else, but you have to admit, they are fucking amazing. Any images from science are acceptable though

Gecko eye.

Looking at that,I just had a thought (no really) About 'irreducible complexity'

Could the an equal argument be made: Complexity such as that found in say the eye or the platypus is exactly what one would expect from chance. Nature is more like Heath Robinson than Da Vinci. All that is needed is for a thing to work.


Surely an intelligent designer of all things would produce elegant simplicity? Or am I simply arguing from personal incredulity? Oh well,tit for tat,which is all intelligent design merits.

Eat this! Massive black hole at center of distant galaxy unleashes cataclysmic energy amounts:

Black hole doing what it does best..

What is really amazing to me is that almost all of those images are amazing from more a creationist perspective than a scientific one. Most of them have nothing to do with science other than science may have observed them.

And understood them, and predicted them, and explained them in rational terms that do not require the presence of an omnipotent creator existing outside the realms of space or time.
