Dredge, Please Take These Arguments Elsewhere
Though I realize that I am not the poster child for keeping threads on topic, I am going to step in and request that Dredge take this personal attack nonsense elsewhere. Lets keep this thread focused on Webb,Hubble and other Space Based Observatories.
We all need to work together around here to keep our threads as distinct as we can.

Re: More religious crap
I think the truth is, you resent me bcoz you can't be me.
No. I just don't like people who are intentionally ignorant and lie in the face of demonstrable reality. People such as you.
I keep telling you, Altar Boy, those jesus meat crackers have rotted your brain.

Getting Back On Topic
I had to look up something to talk about, since I angered ringo (which I didnt mean to do) and saw you cussing up a storm here too...though I realize that you express yourself more readily with profanity. When ringo does it, I get worried.
Anyway, does anyone remember when I stated that 80% of the population of the US is East of Kansas, 20% West of Kansas, and of that, 12% California?
This image from NASA proves it. I got it from this page: NASA Mission,Goals,and Objectives
My point in posting this was to comment on a topic that pertains to NASA.

Do you have any actual evidence to support your claim? You may be correct but I have serious doubts that it is that those #'s are correct.

That obviously can’t be right as written. Sounds like you’re counting Kansas and other Midwestern States as being East of Kansas which doesn’t make sense. There should be a substantial chunk of population that aren’t East or West of Kansas (such as those actually living IN Kansas).
(From my reading about 24% of US Population is West of Kansas, with 12% in California)

Comedy gold. There's nothing funnier than a Darwinoid (like yourself) pontificating about
"demonstrable reality", bcoz when it comes to "demonstrable reality", your Darwinist fairy tale gets shot down in flames.
For example,
1. You can't demonstrate that life on earth is the result of a contiguous process of biological evolution.
2. You can't demonstrate that any alleged evolutionary sequence of fossils is linked ancestrally.
3. You can't demonstrate that known evolutionary mechanisms produced the history of life on earth.
4. You can't demonstrate how any alleged evolutionary change evident in the fossil record took place.
So my advice to you, as a Darwnoid, is, don't talk about "demonstrable reality" ... unless you want to make a complete fool of yourself.

Re: More religious crap
Of course we can, you jesus-chomping cannibal. Each and every one of your stupid "you can't" is in fact a we can, we did and we have the t-shirt.
Problem is, Altar Boy, you're too lazy to go learn. Thousands of examples answering each "you can't" on display in thousands of schools and museums for anyone to see and learn. But you sit on your thumbs and lament an ignorance that only exists in your head.
You are a willingly ignorant catholic, Dredge, proud to be dumb as a stump. Such display of stupid is destroying your church and indeed all churches. Thank god.

We can.
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent
You can't demonstrate that any alleged evolutionary sequence of fossils is linked ancestrally.
No, we can't. What we can do is demonstrate how the mixture of features in fossils exactly matches the predictions made by the theory of evolution. For example, we see fossils with a mixture of modern human and shared ape features. We see fossils with a mixture of dinosaur and bird features. We don't see fossils with a mixture of mammal and bird features. This is massive evidence for the theory of evolution.
You can't demonstrate that known evolutionary mechanisms produced the history of life on earth.
Yes, we can. I do that very thing here:
https://www.evcforum.net/dm.php?control=msg&t=20367
And again, more evidence:
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent
You can't demonstrate how any alleged evolutionary change evident in the fossil record took place.
Yes, we can. The nested hierarchial pattern demonstrates that these changes took place through mutation, selection, and common ancestry.

I was going to say that it shows a higher light density in Alberta than in Ontario, which is backwards.
I would suggest that the picture is more indicative of how close together the light sources are, two points close together not being resolvable.
