So, uh, anyone have anything to say to this? Besides just denying it outright?
the sun occilates in size. That means it gets larger, and then gets smaller, in a cycle.
The extrapolations made here are based on too little data.

How itsybitsy little creatures on the itsybitsy little dot called planet earth inside one of the billions of galaxies can simply assume physical life such as is on earth is all there is, put together a few equasions and graphs to come up with what they're so buligerently sure things were millions to billions of miles and lightyears away hundreds of millions to billions of years ago is LAUGHABLE.
Laughable? How do you come to that conclusion?
I don't understand how you can know that we don't know what we think we know unless you have some specific epistomology that allows you to know what is not knowable.
Laughable? I find it admirable. Not everyone is as ignorant as you about what can be known.
I don't understand what's so arrogant about doing math. Do you find it arrogant to multiply one million by one billion? Surely those numbers must be so large to you that they're the province of God, and no mere mortal could be trusted with that arithmetic?
