You've got your dogma messed up. The creation was 4004 B.C., therefore 6000 years ago.
You also forgot the Holy Ghost. There is a triumvarate: the father, the son, and the holy ghost. People always seem to conveniently forget the parts of their religions that don't make any sense. :)

This looks like the Hubble Ultra Deep Field:

If the universe is approximately 15 billion years old, expanding from a single point at the speed of light, what's out there, more than 15 billion light years away? is there like, an edge to the universe?

Apparently it's slowing down, so I guess it would be closer than that.

Actually it's only the visible frontier we can see yet, since the light has yet "just" traveled 15 billion LY to us, which is called the Hubble Distance, but the space expansion has continued on, so the real expansion is estimated by the astronomer by approximately 46 billion LY, three times greater than now.

And no, there's no edge of the universe, since space hasn't expanded there yet, there's also no time. Nothing, Zero, Nada...

ok. I'll rephrase. religious people tend to forget the nuttier parts of their dogma. :) I suppose organized religions encourage it so they can still claim the people that have drifted away from the crazier stuff and just believe in a creator as part of their religion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe
"Both popular and professional research articles in cosmology often use the term "universe" when they really mean "observable universe". The reason for this is that unobservable physical phenomena are scientifically irrelevant; that is, they cannot affect any events that we can perceive, and therefore causally do not exist. They also cannot be measured, and therefore hypotheses about parts of the universe that are not observable may be ignored."

Anyone have an /hr/ image of the surface of one of the moons of the system? Perhaps Ganymede or Io? Or better yet a website that has such resources?

Not in the shot. It's the Hubble Deep Field.

Since when have they been running NASA?
