Center of the Universe: The Great White Throne

Center of the Universe: The Great White Throne

In a stunning astronomical discovery, the Hubble telescope has taken pictures of the Great White Throne. In a series of telephone interviews, Drs. Robert and David Gentry said the universe has a nearby center that can be identified with the location of the Great White Throne, God's dwelling place in the heavens described in the book of Revelation.
They even go so far as to suggest that this discovery may have apocalyptic implications: Did the Creator long ago plan for this sign in the heavens to be discovered as a signal that the present age is nearing its close and will soon end with the second coming of Christ in power and glory?*

Art historian Tom Chippendale, of the Tate Museum, said the throne was in the French provincial style, while Harvard zoologist Edward O. Wilson identified the animals to either side of the throne as belonging to the genus Capra and Ovis respectively. Unfortunately, the low resolution of the photographs did not permit a more precise taxonomical classification.

William Lane Craig hailed the finding as a splendid addition to the cosmological argument, while William Dembski cited this discovery as a paradigm-case of specified complexity and intelligent design.

However, Richard Dawkins dismissed the “Goddidit” inference as a massive “cop-out” and “science-stopper.” “It wouldn’t be the first time that our smart genes played a dirty trick on their robotic, blindly programmed replicators,” he explained.

Attorneys for the ACLU petitioned Judge Jones to place a gag order on Observatories within the Continental United States and Hawaii.
