    You ever hear from someone that humans shouldn't be so convinced they are that important in the vast sphere of the universe, that we shouldn't be earth-centric?

    It turns out, according to researchers from the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, that the galaxies orbiting our own Milky Way galaxy are some of the oldest galaxies in the entire universe.

    The researchers theorize that Segue-1, Bootes I, Tucana II and Ursa Major were some of the initial galaxies ever formed, roughly 13 billion years old.

    As Phys.org writes...

    The research group's findings suggest that galaxies including Segue-1, Bootes I, Tucana II and Ursa Major I are in fact some of the first galaxies ever formed, thought to be over 13 billion years old.

    When the Universe was about 380,000 years old, the very first atoms formed. These were hydrogen atoms, the simplest element in the periodic table. These atoms collected into clouds and began to cool gradually and settle into the small clumps or "halos" of dark matter that emerged from the Big Bang.

    This cooling phase, known as the "Cosmic dark ages", lasted about 100 million years. Eventually, the gas that had cooled inside the halos became unstable and began to form stars—these objects are the very first galaxies ever to have formed.

    With the formation of the first galaxies, the Universe burst into light, bringing the cosmic dark ages to an end....

    Genesis 1:1-4
    (1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
    (2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
    (3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
    (4) And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.











    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...

    It only stands to reason that the universe is still expanding and creating since God's original command. And that would make our galaxy more or less the oldest if he created the Earth where he originally gave the command so to speak. And that would make those further away younger. At least that's how I see it.

    I don't really see how it matters. Value isn't assigned according to age, physical position, size etc. If there had been beings like us all over the Universe then one could question whether or not we are "important". To God every individual human being is important and he's able to tend to us all individually even though there are more than 7 billion of us at the moment. So even if there had been creatures like us on a billion different planets out there, we would still be important and even if all the other planets only had righteous individuals, God would still seek to save us who are lost.

    The truth of the gospel is very different to the atheistic mindset which dictates that a 200 pound human being has the same intrinsic value as a random 200 pound rock floating through outer space and then we all merely choose to set up rules that say that humans should be treated as if they have value since that suits us collectively.
