Strange that you are happy believe that a stick is able to point to a
meteorite all by itself, yet don't accept that lie detectors work
(despite a considerable weight of research), and think that the Steward
Observatory, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, the
European Southern Observatory, Leiden University in the Netherlands and
Germany's Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy, have ""photoshopped"" an
exoplanet pic??


After all didn't you say..

appealing to the authority of idiots.

Those pictures look computer enhanced (photo-shopped) to me, I was
thinking
more along the lines of something like this:


http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/photogallery-mars.html

You know, real pictures.
