This animated flight through the universe was made by Miguel Aragon of
Johns Hopkins University with Mark Subbarao of the Adler Planetarium and
Alex Szalay of Johns Hopkins. There are close to 400,000 galaxies in
the animation, with images of the actual galaxies in these positions (or
in some cases their near cousins in type) derived from the Sloan
Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. Vast as this slice of the
universe seems, its most distant reach is to redshift 0.1, corresponding
to roughly 1.3 billion light years from Earth. SDSS Data Release 9 from
the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), led by Berkeley Lab
scientists, includes spectroscopic data for well over half a million
galaxies at redshifts up to 0.8 -- roughly 7 billion light years distant
-- and over a hundred thousand quasars to redshift 3.0 and beyond.

are we alone in the universe?
And we are the only ones? You are fucking crazy. You should feel ashamed and embarrassed that you once thought a God created all of this for us. Everything is random. Your life, your day to day drudges no matter how similar they seem to anothers, is all chance. Enjoy everything all the time, if you can, knowing that when you die, you wont even know that existence existed.

Sounds like you have it all figured out. Pretty impressive!
Serious question: How does this video disprove the existence of God?
Follow up question: Whether there is a God or not, why do you assume that, if there is, He is capable of creating life on only one planet?

@cleetusawreetus - Its not a matter of proving or disproving. Its a matter of perceiving and prospective. There is one single book out there that effectively effects almost 100% of the worlds population because it went as far as claiming the utmost highest power to be of this planet, and this planet alone, because at the time of its inception, it was, for the majority of the population, the only thing they could use to answer an un-answerable question. now that we have (hopefully) evolved, would More..

@MarlboroMan
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Please don't think me nitpicky if I point out that, immediately following your phrase, "Follow up question's answer:", there was, er, no answer to be found. I've read it and reread it. You simply didn't answer the question.
My point was that any God who can create a universe like this could populate it with as many or as few habitable worlds as He liked.
Here's a Bible verse--Proverbs 3:5: "Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

@cleetusawreetus - "Follow up questions answer: ... If there was a God, he wouldn't be limited to just this planet, he would be spread out, everywhere and nowhere, just as the universe is."
Of course, we both know this is a circular argument.
And yes, the honest truth is "We dont know shit."
Religion is like politics. I don't blame the guy in charge, I blame those who follow blindly what they don't truly understand. I don't blame Obama or Bush for their years in office, More..

I'm pretty sure there is life elsewhere. And maybe a real intelligent species, not just one that knows of intelligence.

Reminds me of studying pond life as a child growing up. The vast array of beings & tiny environments held & defended by there host life-forms.
We cannot venture beyond our solar system with the mind-set of destruction & war routed into your morality.
A cybernetic life-form will re-judge our species as a possible threat to off-world life; due to our incessant need & ruthless destruction of our own home planet.

Impossible! 1.3 billion light years from Earth. God created the universe only ten thousand years ago. Somebody is lying.

Yeah, there couldn't possibly be any life out there in those BILLIONS of other galaxies.

Those were galaxies. Each one with HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of stars. Each. One.
And there are people who insist that extraterrestrial civilization is a myth.
Right.

@Montanadaishi ...,fractals imo in a ever repeating cycle of life&death (The solar systems & planets & universes are 'machines' designed to create living beings, who ultimately have to co-exist in harmony within this process).
Though I now have come to realize life can mentally effect reality, though our emotions.
See 'water memory' research if your interested further.

Fucking amazing, and that's just a tiny region of the area around the Earth of 1/20th the dimension or less so 1/20 * 1/20 * 1/20 or 1/8000th of the Universe by volume or less.
