There sure are some dumb comments in the comments section:
"wow!! this page is cool and amazing they found another new galaxy!
(again)" (M81 is like the Disneyland of glaxies, visited by millions,
as the article accompanying the photo states)
"You can not look at this and say there is no God."
"100 billion stars in each galaxy, and a 100 billion galaxies. What if
the original purpose for man was to terraform the earth, and then the
universe? There has to be a God!"
".. and the heavens declare His GLORY."
And maybe my favourite, although this guy was trying to be funny:
"I wonder if there are any hot chicks on that planet?"
Planet?!?!?! IDIOT!
I'm having one of those days where I don't see the humour in it.
Buncha cheeseheads.

That is a difficult statement, given that I generally cope with the
absurdity of religion by regarding it as comedy. Black comedy, but
comedy nevertheless. You're right, of course...mental illness is not
funny, acquired or innate.
What's Australia like? Are the theists pretty reserved? They generally
are here in Canada, but American Christians! Publish one photo of one
galaxy and they fall all over each other to gush at what a great god
their god is. It seems like there's a piety competition in the US,
somewhat like owning the best SUV on the block.

Galaxy revealed in high-res
There sure are some dumb comments in the comments section:
"wow!! this page is cool and amazing they found another new galaxy!
(again)" (M81 is like the Disneyland of glaxies, visited by millions,
as the article accompanying the photo states)
"You can not look at this and say there is no God."
"100 billion stars in each galaxy, and a 100 billion galaxies. What if
the original purpose for man was to terraform the earth, and then the
universe? There has to be a God!"
".. and the heavens declare His GLORY."
And maybe my favourite, although this guy was trying to be funny:
"I wonder if there are any hot chicks on that planet?"
Planet?!?!?! IDIOT!
I'm having one of those days where I don't see the humour in it.
Buncha cheeseheads.
Acquired mental illness is not funny.
That is a difficult statement, given that I generally cope with the
absurdity of religion by regarding it as comedy. Black comedy, but
comedy nevertheless. You're right, of course...mental illness is not
funny, acquired or innate.

Scum of the criminals? In some cases, yes. Being transported for
stealing some food for your family rather than starve isn't 'scummy'
imo.

Yes it is!
Now stealing £5 million from the people to fund a slave ship, to sell
the salves to the enemy is a noble act.
Stealing a crust of bread is an outrageous crime against King &
