[QUOTE="USincognito, post: 64669475, member: 21511"] Yeah, notice the parts in white between the blue double helix and on the left hand of the red figure? In 1974 Pluto was still considered a planet. In the early 1800s, Ceres was considered a planet. As more information came in, the nomenclature was changed to reflect that new information. [url=http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/minorplanets.php]When did the asteroids become minor planets?[/url] To ignore all the information availible would be like claiming that "scientists" were responsible for the Challenger Disaster without ever having read the Rogers Commission Report. And if you'd actually read all the informatio on the Wikipedia page (since that's from where that image comes), you'd see other things that were correct in 1974, but are no longer. - The white line between the double helix representes the 4.3 billion bases thought to comprise the human genome (it's actually 3.2 billion). - The red line on the left hand side of the figure represents the 4.3 billion humans alive at the time (it's 7 billion now). Or, here in the real world, the message - assuming it has any transmission power left after nearly 40 years - is only .003% of the way. As the Wikipedia entry shows, it was only a test and never expected to be received. Contrast that with Creationists broadcasting their ignorance on the Internet every hour of every day for real human beings to read and expecting to be taken seriously. :wave: [/QUOTE]
