Your story explained that even though light was created at the Big Bang, there was darkness before stars formed. Likewise, the first chapter of Genesis states that God created light before he created the stars, and separated light from darkness in the interim. Not too many years ago, some people said the Bible's account of the beginning could not be true because light comes from stars, which could not have been created after light was. Now your article has shown how it could be true. Science has once again caught up with the Bible...
Having a basic understanding of Albert Einstein's work with light waves, physics and quantum mechanics, I find it difficult to believe that we really can tell the distance that light has traveled when we perceive it. I don't believe in the Big Bang any more than I buy the parting of the Red Sea. The supposed noise from the Big Bang could just be noise from everyday creation and destruction occurring in the universe. Unfortunately, a lot of science and religion has evolved into fantasies that provide grandiose explanations for questions that might never be answered...
...trust that our justice system will treat us fairly and to have confidence that our families and friends will be alive tomorrow.

...show that the entire genetic basis of a new human life is present from the moment of conception. Thoughtful commentators on both sides of the issue raise other scientific facts of embryological development to affirm or deny the humanity of the unborn child. These scientific insights shed important light on the moral question, but they do not completely determine it. We must still ask the same moral questions that people have been asking for decades: Is the unborn child a âhuman lifeâ? If so, is it ever legitimate to destroy this young life? What moral...
...press conference that dealt with such weighty measures - a rare case where, as Carl Hulse wrote in today's New York Times, " the policy is as monumental as the politics," the meeting had more than the usual share of light-hearted moments. Bush always tries a little too hard to remind those watching at home that he's one of the boys; his penchant for broad one-liners and his reflexive "heh-heh-hehing" has earned him the nickname "Shecky-in-Chief" from some. Today, there was prop comedy from NBC's David Gregory, who had to extricate himself from...
