That is the generally accepted approximation, but I do not have the knowledge to know if that speed can or can not be exceeded by the light itself. The Holy Bible says God made the light as well as that God is light. So this would indicate that God has control of light in any medium.

Excellent! In your OWN words do you accept that the speed of light through a vacuum is 186000 miles per second and cannot be exceeded.
Anyways, can we get on with it now? I've been waiting for you to drop the other shoe for at least a day now.

What in heck does this even mean?
The speed of light is a maximum speed limit for anything with mass. How can light exceed the speed of light? It's called the "speed of light" because, well, it is the speed of light. How can light exceed its own speed? Wouldn't it then cease to be the "speed of light"?

All those galaxies and stars must be very small if you get my drift!

Originally posted by RJHindsHave you not been paying attention? The researchers themselves felt their results were unlikely to be right, they just couldn't find where the error was. By the middle of last year the conclusion was that it was down to a fault in the wiring.

Not that this just might be a contradiction.

The Holy Bible is not a biology textbook from God. It give the information in generalities and not in specifics.
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit [b]according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.
