Odd. I thought that was your position. I might point out that both PatrickHenry and Radio Astronomer have posted easy ways to check the speed of light yourself.
Based on my current reading of physics and the nature of light, science hasn't answered all the questions, and this is a currently observable process.
Science has never claimed to have "answered all the questions." Your "and this is a currently observable process" has no obvious antecedent and is therefore unintelligible.
What kind of egotistical fool would expect every student of science to accept a hopeful rendition of history as factual when even the current universe remains largely unexplained?
What other, non-current "universe" are you expecting? -- a notion implied in "when even the current universe remains largely unexplained"?
But the question is a good one, up to this point: "What kind of egotistical fool would expect every student of science to accept a hopeful rendition of history as factual?" Actually, serious students of science are expected to do their own research, and the ones who succeed in overturning a previously accepted theory are the ones who get famous.
Im curious, though. Do you apply that what kind of egotistical fool, question to your somewhat eccentric non-understanding of well, just about anything you dont understand? Youre the guy who wont follow links and doesnt like quoting an authority (except when you demand citations from others).
Is everyone who fails to accept your personal understanding of the Bible an egotistical fool?
I'll follow links if I feel so inclined, but I prefer to read FReepers who can think and speak for themselves. There appear to be very few of those where the subject of evolution is concerned. Most of them behave as direct descendants of the parrot. I've only demanded citations out of sarcasm because they were demanded of me first.
If links and citations are your bag, please have at it. IMO they show how incapable the evo crowd is when it comes to thinking critically for themselves, and how inept they are at expressing their lofty concepts in simple terms. Or maybe it's a fear of rebuke. Whatever it is, it ain't science. It's about time they were dethroned from the science classroom and enshrined in the hall of shame.
