Except that if gravity propagated at the speed of light, the earth would long ago have ceased to orbit the sun.The Face on Mars is wearing a really miffed expression, right about now.

I couldn't care less about a face on Mars. The fact is that the earth accelerates toward the actual position of the sun, not toward the apparent position as it would if gravity propagated at the speed of light. This isn't an opinion or an interpretation but a demonstrated phenomenon. It can't be explained by a speed of gravity that doesn't exceed the speed of light.
