The pretext is the same as global warming.....man can make it better.
We're so vain.
This is silly talk... no one is suggesting man is moving the position of the sun/earth. Time, as in a 24 hour, 60 min to the hour day, is a human invention.... fooling with that has nothing to do with God's will.
AND it will still be light when I get out of work in the winter... Maybe can do some outside stuff longer in the season. For me that works.
