The Big Bang is no longer theory, but fact.
NASA, NSF, DOE and the California Institute of Technology are collaborating to do more than just assert this one lie. They intend to "prove" the Earth is not unique or unusual, and produce "evidence" of space aliens.
Under a sweeping program called "ORIGINS," the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE) hope to combine their respective skills and expertise to learn how all objects -- from quarks to quasars, from galaxies to people -- are interrelated.
Notice how they've already determined their conclusions? All that remains is to spend money and convince everyone else.
TPF will allow us to identify habitable planets like our own Earth around the nearest stars and to assess how common they might be. By combining the sensitivity of space-borne telescopes with the high spatial resolution of an interferometer, TPF will study planets beyond our own solar system in a variety of ways: from their formation and evolution in the disks of newly forming stars to the properties of planets orbiting the nearest stars; from their numbers, sizes, locations, and diversity to their suitability as abodes for life. Using the special technique of interferometric nulling, TPF will be able to reduce the glare of parent stars by a factor of more than one hundred thousand to reveal planetary systems as far away as 15 parsec (pc) or 50 light years. The characterization of the size, temperature, and orbital parameters of entire planetary families, including bodies as small as the Earth in regions where liquid water might be expected to be present, i.e. the "habitable zones", will reveal the full diversity of planetary systems in a way that is only hinted at today.
Again, the conclusion is already known. They will "find" Earth-like planets and examine them closely.
A real scientist could not be sure what he would see until he had some observations to go on. These people "know" they're going to observe all sorts of stuff, including the formation of stars and planets, specifically Earth-like planets, and "life signs" coming from them.
This isn't science. This is advance notice of what they intend to claim, once they've spent enough money. The best science available indicates the Earth is quite unique in many, many respects. They know this, but they aren't interested at all.
One should recall that in real science, repeatability is a major factor. None of the revelations these people plan to announce will be repeatable. No, they set themselves up as authorities that their story should be immune from dispute. (Personal note: just watch - they're such pathetic liars they'll still tell an obviously inconsistent tale, even when they have a monopoly on "observations".)
And how anyone can trust them is beyond me. They insist I.D. is bogus, yet openly plan to "discover" space aliens so they can "solve" the problems facing evolutionism. The I.D. advocates who posit space alien intervention are labeled kooks by people positing exactly the same thing. Know the difference? The I.D. advocates admit that life appears to be designed, while the hypocrites insist it doesn't. They insist there's no way to detect design or intelligence, yet they're telling us they're going to discover space aliens. Do lies come more self-contradictory or self-serving?
Methinks there's no way to detect intelligence in any creature fooled by such a lie.
Of course it's all got to be snazzy and multi-media, too.
