Any amateur astronomer can see them - especially the gas giants. Try youtube.

I would rather it come from NASA since they are an authority on the issue in the West.

It takes too much sifting through misinformation and red herrings to trust YouTube.

I used to be an "ameteur" astronomer, and while you do see some very interesting activity in the heavens, it doesn't match up to the CGI images presented by NASA - which is how I know the photos have been edited, and it is also the reason why I am asking for NASA photos without editing, smoothing, CGI, or artifacts.

Clearly, the new photos of the 7 terrestroids are edited, and CGI. Which, if fine when the concept is (for now) more important than the actual visuals.

IF you get a chance, I'm truly interested in what convinced you that God exists.

As I stated before, the evidence was God Himself revealing Himself to me when He convicted me of my sins and I asked Jesus to forgive me (Whereby I was then changed). But if you are looking for evidences to lead you to God, here is a blog post I created today for you and others.

Love Branch: Evidences for the Word of God

You could change my mind by demonstrating with evidence that a deity is responsible for the Bible.

Love Branch: Evidences for the Word of God

Side Note 1:

Also, folks here have to consider that they may be wrong in their interpretation of God's goodness or morality. He does not stand for evil. All evil and sin will be judged at a Judgment in the future. Nobody will get away with anything. As for certain things you think God does that might be bad, there are plenty of apolgetic articles by Christians on the internet that can help you to resolve these issues. i would highly suggest in seeking them out before looking at any evidence for God's Word.

Side Note 2:

If you do not accept the evidences, I am not really interested in hearing about it. Nor do I think any other faithful Christian who is concerned in thinking about the good things of God will be interested in hearing about your rejection of such evidences. So I will please ask all who read these evidences to not repost them anywhere so as to refute or mock. If you disagree with the evidences, please simply move on.

I'm sure there are quite a few more from the early days of the space program. Why does it matter?

Well, for one it would be a show of transparency to provide some physical backing for the theory provided.

If CGI, smoothed or altered photos are presented to supplement information, there should at least be a very clear message concerning whether or not the body is altered, or an actual image.

It is a transparency thing; you can tell me all about an elephant and it's dimensions (something let's assume I have never seen or heard of). You can even show me a picture of Dumbo, and tell me it is an image of an elephant (including all scientific factoids that describe the creature.) Unless you specifically tell me Dumbo is a cartoon image, and not meant to be taken as real - only for concept purposes - then how am I supposed to know the difference if I have never seen an elephant?

I may actually make the mistake of thinking a cartoon/drawing of an elephant is what it looks like in nature.

And yet he doesn't appear.
He always answers the hungry heart and those who seek Him. Remember He would not appear in a parade of unbelief though, He doesn't work that way. He will make Himself known to those that cry out in sincerity.

Which theory? That the Earth is round?

You can see all of the planets out to Saturn or even Neptune with telescopes you can buy yourself.

If we are talking about exoplanets, the scientists list all of their methods and materials for measuring transits and Doppler shifts in their peer reviewed papers. Almost every measurement in science is "altered" in some fashion, even by something as simple has subtracting out background.

And yet no one has a picture of God appearing, so there must not be any people who cry out in sincerity.

It is difficult to know how he could appear, except in the form he did 2,000 years ago, and then would he be treated as anything other than some wacko who thought he was God?

Well, I don't see your exo smexo planets appearing either. About all you can say is that some things are revolving around other things out there somewhere, ho far away or how big we do not have a clue!

Relax, when He returns it will be in power to take over the world and rule forever with His children.

Transit data does tell you how big they are, and how far away from the star their orbit is.
