[Doctor Stochastic]

But how do we know, since we cannot observe it un-aided with the five senses, that light doesn't travel at a progressivly faster speed the further you move away from earth, allowing the light from far distant nebulei to arrive here in only 6000 years!!!!!!

Chromatic aberration of starlight.

[f.Christian]

"We know, by now — or at any rate, we have no excuse for not knowing — what happens when people get it into their heads that all the accumulated teachings, customs, and traditions of centuries can be swept away, mankind having now advanced to a stage where we are wise enough to do without them. We know where the heresy of Joachim leads. It does not lead to Heaven on earth."

"Yet still it persists; still there are those who tell us that history has ended, that religion has no more need of scripture, society no more need of customary morals, humanity no more need of guidance, behavior no more need of restraints. Still ... it persists --— the Eternal Heresy!"
