A star exploded. And the light finally reached Earth last Wednesday.

Boggles the mind.

I tried the same thing on Kepler's Star but HAL 'would not let us do that'

But to divert from the retarded notion that the Earth is only 6000 years old, it really is amazing. Space articles are always very interesting.

Light years piss me off.  Somewhere a billion light years away there is a planet with civilized lifeforms on it and a telescope looking back at pictures of Earth from billion years ago saying "nothing there; I guess we are still alone"

Early cave drawings found by creationist archeologists prove this.  The cave drawings show the t-rexes and cavemen sharing a pint at a local pub, playing a very early version of poker and debating the merits of cable versus DSL.

I am a shameless Anglophile.  BBC America is on all the time here. 

I still call it an elevator and not a "lift" and it's the hood of my car, not the "bonnet".  But no one is perfect.

Meh. According to the Mayans our current calender cycle started 6k years ago.

and that calendar ends in 4 years, 8 months and 27 days. Tongue

...and they could have discovered teleportation and have been giving Eartlings anal probes ever since. ...what would be even funnier is that we seen places that were 2 billion years younger than they are now....when there was no live there and no there is life there that is so advanced that they are the greys.

Yeah, that's actually technically not a contradiction.  In fact, even if the Earth is 5 billion years old (high end scientific estimate) then it still was created after the explosion of this star.

I don't think any group puts an age limit on the universe.
