How China is Rewriting the Book on Human Origins.

If you have been following the digs by paleontologists and the study of paleoanthropology (i.e., human origins), you may be conflicted if you hold tightly to the view of the Biblical timeline of human existence. I attempt to keep an open mind, and it will be one of the many troubling questions that I shall ask God when we meet, how exactly do some of these conundrums fit into His history of mankind. Maybe, by then it may no longer be that important!

ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY: The Antennae Galaxies. Credit: NASA, ESA & B. Whitmore (STScI) et al.; Image processing: Davide De Martin.

During the slow, hundred-million-year collision, one galaxy can still rip the other apart gravitationally, with dust and gas colliding, and massive molecular clouds being compressed, causing the rapid birth of millions of stars, some gravitationally bound together in massive star clusters.
