Quote ="1905"That's not true. The stars, relative to the earth are all in fixed positions (find a 200 year old mariner and ask him if you don't believe me), and in the absense of an absolute frame of reference it is natural to assume that relative to each other they are also fixed, and cannot 'move' and therefore cannot possibly align. The only celestial objects that, relative to the Earth, can move are the [iasteres planetai[/i (Greek) or planets, the most popular translation of which is 'wandering stars'. With this lack of relative movement, I must take exception to your claim that the stars are aligning.
I agree with everything else you said.
'Sarcastic! Who me?''"
Ahh, correct...but is it not also true that the universe is ever expanding thus suggesting that every celestial body (planets and stars alike) are actually moving further apart?
They may never align but they are equally not stationary.
God, i think ive just become boring!!
