Using a new technique a team of astronomers uncovered some new design features of the universe and more evidence that the big bang creation model yields a consistent explanation for the past history of the universe. The team discovered an extremely distant cluster of galaxies that was still in its formative stage. This proto-galaxy cluster formed when the universe was only one tenth of its present age—a date consistent with the measured dates, number density, and characteristics of the first-formed stars in the universe. This just-right date also helps explain how the universe can provide a home for humanity at the time, place, and conditions that are ideal for fostering human civilization and technology.
