Cosmic breakthrough: Physicists detect gravitational waves from violent black-hole merger

Scientists announced Thursday that they have succeeded in detecting gravitational waves from the violent merging of two black holes in deep space. The detection was hailed as a triumph for a controversial, exquisitely crafted, billion-dollar physics experiment and as confirmation of a key prediction of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

Why do you people keep falling for this garbage? The Earth is only 6,000 years old - it's written right in the Bible in Genesis 1:16 that God made the stars. This is God's Earth, people! Now you are either for him or against him!
