No doubt the speed of light is an illusion or a tool of the devil or whatever. All these fanatics do is butcher science and discredit religion. I do not understand people who get fixated on one obscure idea -- the universe is 6000 years old -- the earth is at the center of the universe -- people and dinosaurs co-existed -- and they are obsessed with this one idea until it is virtually the sum of their religion. They reduce Christianity to a crude cult of numerology. In their own way they are almost as bad as the agnostic churchmen who reduce religion until it is almost nothing.
What's easier to believe:
1. That everything we see is just a series of chance accidents, rocks sprang to life, and evolved into the myriad of life we see today. There is no sin, no God, no moral absolutes, and no afterlife, and no design to anything we see.
2. God, who made everything in 6 days, became a man, died for the sins of the world, and raised His dead body back to life again? He is the Moral Absolute, He is Life, and He defines sin. Oh, and he will hold us accountable.
#1 is much preferred, because I get to decide right & wrong, thus, I am god. All Hail Darwininian Evolution, for it frees us from guilt!
I do not understand people who get fixated on one obscure idea -- the universe is 6000 years old 15 billion-- the earth is not at the center of the universe -- people and dinosaurs didn't co-exist -- and they are obsessed with this one idea until it is virtually the sum of their religion.
Evolution is the creation account of atheists, whose religion is secular humanism.
I’ve never bought into the 6000 year-old universe thing. For one thing, it is presumptuous of us to think one minute of our time is the same as one minute of the Creators. What passes as a day for us may be the same as a thousand years to him.
Our time is based upon the rotation of the Earth - if God created something as vast and expansive as the universe, why would his measure of time be tied to the rotation of a single tiny planet around its sun?
