  1. I read that one man did a study of snowflakes under a scope like this and after thirty years he had never seen a duplicate. God is awesome!

  2. *facepalm* Why does someone always have to spam up their religion? And incidentally snow flakes are awesome enough all by themselves.

    And for the record, I'm a Deist.

  6. Isn't it weird when you guys uphold freedom of speech, yet discouraging religious people to comment "godly" and "piously"?

    I'm a Muslim, and these snowflakes are awesome God's creations.

  7. Thanks, Sven, for saying what I would have said but far less rudely than I would have said it :)

    These are really spectacular images. I'm interested to know how they got snow flakes into an electron microscope - did someone stand outside with ice cold slides catching snow flakes? More likely, I imagine, they created the snowflakes in the lab.

    Chemistry is awesome. So is God. And for the record, there's one person spamming his/her religion rather politely, and 4 others spamming their non-religion very impolitely.
