Most Distant Galaxies Found

But it is all just a trick by God to make us think that the Universe is old, and make it that much harder to believe what the Bible says. Or maybe they are just reflections off the hard dome of the the sky....

Astronomers using a giant telescope say they have found glimpses of the most distant -- and oldest -- galaxies ever seen, it will be reported Tuesday evening.

The light researchers viewed has been traveling through distant space for billions of years, it will be claimed.

The findings are to be presented to the Royal Astronomical Society. A team from the California Institute of Technology used the giant Keck telescope in Hawaii to make the discovery.

"We are really witnessing our origins," claims astronomer Richard Ellis. "It is exciting we can use this technique to get a glimpse of the universe when it was so young."

"The implication is these are the early generation of stars... when the universe was in its infancy."
