A mirage is a personal experience Michael, not something that can be put to the test.
A mirage cannot be recorded or seen by other people, it lacks that thing called verifiable evidence.
Your premise is spot on, but a mirage can sometimes be seen by anyone in the vicinity of one seeing it. It's just heat concentrating something in the air, making it appear to be water where there is none

If you start seeing palm trees and camels however then that might be a more personal vision.
Can't argue with that. That's quite the mirage
Dear alwight,
I don't mean like a desert mirage. I mean a mirage that God is causing. Do you actually think the telescope can see a million miles away or whatever?? Light-years are quite a distance. Pluto is a million miles away for example.
Michael
Dear So many gays!
I'm not talking about a regular mirage. I just couldn't find another word to explain it. It's not real. Too many light-years away.

Dear So many gays!
Of course I see palm trees and camels. I live in Phoenix, Arizona. It's the desert and of course we have tons of palm trees and many camels also. It's not a mirage.

:angrymob:Michael, I suspect that several people would be willing to help you actually learn a little science, but my experience is that is something you seem to resist. Instead you advertise your scientific ignorance with comments like the ones you just made. Pluto – a million miles away? You haven’t got the faintest idea of the actual distances things in the sky are from us.
Do you have an objection to learning, and to withholding comments on things that you are poorly qualified to comment on? You do yourself no favors, and you are an embarrassment to the Christian cause with your inanity. Please, accept the help that has been extended to you.

Hi Michael, I already knew the distance of the Earth from the sun without checking (93 million miles iirc and that the light we see from it is about 8 minutes old), but I had no real idea about Pluto so I just looked it up to be on ave 3.67 billion miles from the sun.
Even within the solar system the distances are enormous, so you can perhaps understand why they use light years to measure amazing interstellar distances, never mind the inter galactic ones.
If light from anywhere reaches the Earth then with the right equipment we can see it. Even our naked eyes can see light that is many millions of years old by the time it's got here, from many light years away.
Pluto is a mere stone throw away compared to even the nearest stars.
You may not be interested in any of that since you apparently don't know the first thing about it, but if you ever are then just say so.
Dear alwight,
I'm just saying what I heard on TV on the news. They said Pluto was a million miles from us. Don't kill the messenger. I'm just repeating what I've heard. If I'm wrong, then I apologize.
Much Respect,
Michael

Yes... light years is a measurement of distance.
Nope... light years is a measurement of distance... not time.

I'm not wrong 6days, light from a star only 4 light years away (distance) (Proxima Centauri) has nevertheless taken 4 years to get here.Nope... light years is a measurement of distance... not time.

How long did it take for light to get here from the light horizon at 46+ billion light years away?
Does this question indicate a tacit admission on your part that the universe is vastly older than literal Genesis allows?
Dear 6days,
I would say 46+ billion years. Am I right?
Michael
I would say 46+ billion years. Am I right?
Michael
Dear Davis,
There has not been 46+ billion years on Earth.
Michael

The visible universe is a bit more complicated since it is expanding which is why I tried to keep it simple and more local.
But this shows that your understanding of the solar system is so lacking that you apparently without question accept an enormous error from a TV commentary. The public in the US has a reputation as being pretty uniformed in matters of just basic science, and you have confirmed that is certainly true for you.
