Re: lazy, crazy speed of light
I'm standing on the Rock, and not on the shifting sands of silly Godless conjecture. Should I found things on the present speed of physical universe light?
You durn sure need to stop using that computer, or the telephone or TV. They are "founded" on that speed.
And what do Chevy Trucks have to do with all this, anyway?

Re: dote on a photon
Spirits can travel with the speed of thought.
There ya go, then! Thought, which is to say nerve impulses, can travel as fast as 100 meters per second or so, about a fourth of the speed of sound or one three-millionth of the speed of light. Thanks for settling that for us, Arkathon!

Re: lazy, crazy speed of light
Actually you can get exactly the same results if you assumes the planets revolve around the sun and the sun revolves around the earth
But it's a little tricky to account for parallax and aberration of starlight if you're geocentric. All stars have to make a little ellipse every year around an empty spot in space in that model. And it has to be the size of the Sun's "path" around the Earth, but can be anywhere from a near-circle to a back-and-forth straight line.

Re: spirit thought faster
Then again, if they prefer, they can ride a chariot across the sky, or space at pretty well any speed they would like.
Oh, I see! That's how Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy all make their rounds so quickly! Thank you for clearing that up.

For all we know, we may not even need any "light" (normal or spiritual) to "see" the metaphysical world.
Many cultures have found that serious fasting or hallucinogenic plants work just fine for "seeing" such things.

Re: repeat beat bit
e photons created during the split will travel at light speed towards Earth, and occupy the space in which 'normal' light hasn't yet had the time to travel. Stars now also produce normal photons which seamlessly follow those already on their way.
This gets as close as it's likely to be possible to making sense out of Arkathon's ramblings. But it still leaves a very odd thing on A's plate, which needs to be addressed: supernovae more that 6000 light-years distant. If we see one in modern, non-spiritual light, it must, of necessity, happened more than 6000 years ago - physical light only can travel so fast. But that puts the explosion before creation: the star blew up and died before it was born.
All supernovae seen within the last 400 years or so have been further than 6000 LY - most many thousands of times more distant than that. Their explosions are thus fictions - God is deceiving those poor benighted astronomers with the spiritual-replaced-by-physical light from His creation. Why would He do that, Arkathon? Or are supernovae just Satan's little light shows, and only appear to be exploding suns in every minute detail?

It's a bit far fetched, perhaps,
