Do the arithmatic, 400 billion stars, probably many with multiple planets, in our little galaxy, with bilions
of galaxies in our universe and god picked our little rock to create man, what a privillege.
For example, the layout
of the galaxies in the universe shows exacting organization, being arranged in clusters and super clusters.
Given that the Milky Way alone has hundreds of billions of stars, and there are many hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions
of galaxies in the universe, and there may even be multiple universes, it is statistically certain that at least a few percentage of those trillions of stars will host some intelligent life.
There are hundreds of billions
of galaxies in that universe, each with billions of stars and planets.
Out of the billions
of galaxies in the universe Out of the billions of systems and planets Out of the hundreds of gods humans have produced You have the hubris to think that your little god listens to your prayers And if you don't believe then that little loving god will burn you for eternity.
A graphic representation maps the local superclusters
of galaxies in our universe, but also something else: vast tracts where few galaxies exist, called voids.
A decade - long survey
of galaxies in the universe has revealed the crispest measurements yet of how dark energy drives the expansion fo the universe
The result was the Hubble Deep Field, a series of images that doubled astronomers» estimates of the number
of galaxies in the universe to at least 50 billion.
«It boggles the mind that over 90 percent
of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be studied.
If the galaxies turn out to be very old, a distinct possibility, it may mean that astronomers will have to revise not only their count of the number
of galaxies in the universe but the history of galaxies as well.
It took another three centuries for astronomers to convince themselves that the Milky Way is just one of billions
of galaxies in the universe.
This finding promises to tell astronomers more about the evolution and structure of majestic giant spirals, one of the most common types
of galaxies in the universe.
A much better answer — the answer we would give today — is that there are billions of planets in our galaxy, and billions
of galaxies in the universe.
So by looking at the number
of galaxies in the universe, and their sizes, we should be able to learn about the properties of dark matter.
We now know that we live in a spiral galaxy, consisting of billions of stars, and that our galaxy is just one of hundreds of billions
of galaxies in the universe.
The dwarf ellipticals may be the most common type
of galaxy in the universe (or maybe the dwarf irregulars are).
You probably get the idea at this point, but just to hammer it home: On average, galaxies are separated by millions of light years — and the latest estimates put the number
of galaxies in the universe at around 500 billion.
Another measure comes from counting the number of clusters
of galaxies in the universe to measure the volume of space and the rate at which that volume is increasing.
This is problematic, because the life of stars, and by implication
of galaxies in the universe, is directed by the physical processes acting in their core regions.
Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this photo provided the sharpest and most distant view
of galaxies in the universe.
To gain an overall picture
of galaxies in the universe requires a much higher sensitivity for observation.
To capture the overall picture
of galaxies in the universe, it is important to observe «general galaxies» which have moderate star - formation activities.
The sun is just one of about 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, which is just one of the billions
of galaxies in the universe.
Not exact matches
If you multiply that by the estimated number
of galaxies in the observable
universe (10 trillion is a modest guess) you get a number that is 1 with 24 zeroes after it: 1 septillion.
«Beware

in a
galaxy far, far away from the Star Wars
universe.
The franchise will also be incorporated at U.S. Disney theme parks, bringing to life the droids, spaceships and otherworldly creatures

A supernatural being with the ability to command the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, and even all the stars and
galaxies in the
universe into existence would certainly be able to create an ongoing supply
of photons first.
Second: The Creation tale is simply a way for early humans to explain mans creation and «fall» from God's predetermined path... The old testament is full
of stuff more related to philosophy and health advice then «Gods word» However, this revelation has not made me less
of a christian...
In Contrast to those stuck in «the old ways» regarding faith (not believing in neanderthals and championing the claim that earth is only 6000 years old), I believe God created the universe on the very principle of physics and evolution (and other sciencey stuff)...

Do fundamentalists ever use their reasoning ability an wonder why God, the creator
of the
Universe, would make such laws and demands on the inhabitants
of this small, insignificant planet revolving
in this vast solar system, traveling
in this vast
galaxy, floating through this endless
universe?
Another crucial debate topic: Are there points
of light
in a fixed firmament, or are there balls
of gas undergoing nuclear fusion grouped into
galaxies in an expanding
universe.
I can't claim to be providing certainly accurate information on this, since it's been a while since I've done relevant physics reading (lay books, not academic), but
in the early
universe (before inflation went out
of control) there were irregularities that gave rise to clumping, from which the first stars and
galaxies originated.
«Things» were «moving»
in this early stage
of the
universe, and this motion by different «objects» produced angluar motion
in different directions, causing the first stars and
galaxies to rotate
in different directions.
Everything single
galaxy, star (sun) and planet,
in the
universe have been formed by gravity over billions
of years, NO god needed.
Yes indeed, God created the entire
universe, yet one
of his chief concerns seems to be whether a bunch
of violent apes on a speck
of dust orbiting an ordinary middle - aged star
in an unremarkable
galaxy are touching themselves.
But «logic» this;
Of a God that created a universe that is about 12 billon years old in extension, with millions of galaxies like ours, containing billions of stars and planet
Of a God that created a
universe that is about 12 billon years old
in extension, with millions
of galaxies like ours, containing billions of stars and planet
of galaxies like ours, containing billions
of stars and planet
of stars and planets.
And then, having created this
universe of over 100 billion
galaxies containing a trillion trillion stars he decides to focus his attention on one planet where he creates life «
in his image» as if such a being would even have an image.
For example, the seeming unlimited number
of galaxies (with each containing anywhere from an estimated 10 to 500 billion stars) and the precise order that exists within the
universe, and the shear distance between stars (an average about 4.2 light years or about 25 trillion miles), has caused some to stop and look
in awe.
You'll almost certainly dodge that question by claiming he has always existed, so if that's the case, what suddenly prompted God to create a
universe filled with over 100 billion
galaxies containing a trillion trillion stars after spending an eternity extending into the past existing alone
in an absolute void
of nothingness?
@Vic: For the sake
of argument, let's suppose the
universe was created by an all powerful being who had existed for an eternity extending into the past
in emptiness
of the nothingness that was before he got bored and created the
universe with its 170 billion or more
galaxies and trillion trillion stars.

In 2011, a five - year survey
of 200,000
galaxies and spanning 7 billion years
of cosmic time confirmed that «dark energy is driving our
universe apart at accelerating speeds.»
Dominique Lambert explained first some
of the background to Lemaître's work:

With uncountable
galaxies in the
universe, the likelihood is more than assured that there exist other forms
of life.
There is nothing

The civilizations,
galaxies, and
universes the cosmic «I» perceives are

As beings
of higher complexity are integrated into the communal «I,» it is better able to comprehend
galaxies and
universes widely divergent
in kind and complexity from those more similar to the earth (SM 298 - 300, 310f, 342 - 45).
There are hundreds
of billions
of stars
in our
galaxy, each with planets, that large
of a number even if a tiny fraction had an atmosphere and even if a fraction
of them had water (as we know it is required, but life may not require it on other planets) it would be amazing if there wasn't a carbon based lifeform somewhere else
in our
galaxy, let alone
in the
universe with billions
of galaxies each with billions
of stars and trillions
of planets.
If any
of those constants was off by even one part
in a million, or
in some cases, by one part
in a million million, the
universe could not have been able to coalesce, there would have been no
galaxy, stars, planets or people.»
Take the expansion rate
of the
universe: if it was faster than one part
in 10 ^ 55,
galaxies could not have formed.
Who could POSSIBLY think that this planet, let alone this
universe, was CREATED with us
in mind, being as it is a planet tucked away into some obscure corner
of a forgettable
galaxy — one amongst billions.
The being who created the entire
universe and its billions
of galaxies (make your choice from the above list and thousands
of others) reads your mind, or — «hears your prayers» if you prefer a less embarrassing, euphamism for exactly the same thing — reacts and alters whatwould otherwise be the course
of history
in small ways to suit your whims.
