[Fundy giving his rationale for believing things despite evidence]

I was already familiar with SN1987A [a famous <a href="http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Thebes/7755/ancientproof/SN1987A.html" target="_blank">supernova which showed the age of the universe</a> much greater than 10,000 years], learning. You've supplied yet another example of something that I've stated more times than I can remember : some people are so 'fragile' in their faith that the slightest event will cause them to drop it and seek refuge elsewhere. Kind'a like the way you "threw down" Morris' book just because you couldn't understand how 2+3 could <u>possibly</u> add up to 11.

What's follows? At the next question that you can't answer, does the resurrection get tossed? The Second Coming? The virgin conception? The miracles? The questions <u>will</u> come - rest assured of that!

The simplest possible explanation for events such as SN1987A (and billions of light years distances) is found in Scripture when God tells us of "stretching the heavens". I don't want to enter into this now so let me just say this : no existing cosmology has anything other than speculations as to how the cosmos is structured and how it works. We are here, vast distances from objects, picking up faint bits of information and trying to piece together an incredibly complex puzzle from those scraps of information. I'm <u>NOT</u> about to question God's Word on such feeble 'evidence'. Obviously, you and others like you were much more inclined via the same 'evidence'. So be it.
