In the book, "The Bible According to Mark Twain," Clemens says in a letter to his fiancee, "...according to Genesis, the stars were made when the world was, yet this writer mentions the ... fact that there are stars ... whose light requires 50,000 years to ... come to our earth. ...might we not ... meet and greet the first lagging rays of stars that started on their weary visit to us a million years ago?"
Of course, there is much to be considered here. If the young earth creationists say the world is 6,000 years old, and the universe was made when the world was, then if some stars are a million light years away, how is it we can see their light if we have been here only 6,000 years? We can assume the y.e.c.'s would rationalize the same way they have with the dinosaurs -- that they're not so old as we say. Or that the stars are not really so far away. But we can do our measurements, and they can reject them, and then we are all just back where we started again. |

On the link 100 Questions Non-Members Ask About Unitarian-Universalism, you will go to an interesting tract, which is excellent -- up to a point.
Though the author makes the point that UU's are free to believe what they wish, he lapses into his own beliefs in later statements. He should have qualified many statements with "many" UU's believe, or a UU "may" believe, rather than implying that all believe alike, implied in some statements. If you can mentally insert that qualification yourself, you will find an interesting and informative discussion there. |
