Now, about that speed of light thingy.....

Google;
speed of light not constant

The speed of light is constant in a vacuum. If it comes in to contact with say an atmosphere or some heavy elements then the speed of light slows. So sometimes the light takes longer to reach us then if it was just traveling in a vacuum.

Maybe the universe is even older then we thought.

Raven,

Believe, whatever you want to believe.

I am not responsible for what you choose to believe.

That aptly sums up this topic.

Yadda, just curious, how old do you believe the universe is, and what lead you to that conclusion?

I have a question of my own;

Why would the opinion of a person like me, be of any interest to a rational and reasoning person like yourself, Stratos ?

A rational, reasoning person is curious as to why other people aren't rational or reasoning.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Yes, it is.

Cheesy

Quote:

"There is increasing evidence that a small but significant number of people living in Britain -- almost all of whom are British citizens -- reject our values. ...

It's clear from these examples that extremism can take many forms. ...

They utterly reject British and Western values, including democracy, the rule of law, and equality between citizens, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion or sexuality.

You are a crackpot lunatic.

Tell me, As an omnipotent being, do you have the capability of imagining your own existence or just your omnipotence?

Thank you for being incoherent.

OK, I'll try again. As an omnipotent creator, you are by definition, capable of anything.

So does that mean that you are capable of:

Being mistaken?
Changing your opinion?
Having an Imagination?

- and all these other things like that, which make human beings so powerful?

You have it arse about, pal - you are the one who will settle for nothing less than making god fit your anthropomorphic demands.
