The speed of light in a vacuum commonly denoted c, is 299,792,458 m/s;
this has been measured many times by different people using different
methodology and currently with an uncertainty of 4 parts per billion and
is no in doubt.

According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed at which all
conventional matter and hence all known forms of information in the
universe can travel (including light).

As light travels at a finite speed everything we observe with our eyes
happened in the past due to the time taken for the light to reach our eyes.

If we look at a star in the night sky and it's distance to us is the
distance it takes light to travel in 8 years say, then we say it is "8
light years away". When we observe that star what we are seeing is how
it looked 8 years ago.

This is why I am conflicted. I know the universe is only 6000 years old
thanks to the Bible however we can observe stars and galaxies much
further away than 6000 light years (our Galaxy, The Milky Way, is itself
100,000 light years in diameter) which means the universe must be much
older than 6000 years.

I can resolve my conflict through faith and what I know about Satan.
Satan has many names one of which is "Lucifer" which means "Bringer of
Light" and light having a finite speed is actually Satan's greatest
deception timed to coincide with our greatest scientific advances and
the end times. He uses science and empirical evidence to lead us away
from Jesus Christ. The night sky and what we observe through telescopes
is an illusion that those who do not wish to burn in hell for eternity
must ignore it.

So my message to you, dear reader, is ignore Satan's greatest deception
and accept faith in Jesus Christ and be saved sausages.

But it does accurately convey your beliefs, though, right?

For sausages I recommend HP Sauce (a UK brown sauce).

"Suppose it’s all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are
confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life. "What
will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?"
"I’d say, bone cancer in children? What’s that about?" Fry replied.
"How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery
that is not our fault. It’s not right, it’s utterly, utterly evil."
"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates
a world that is so full of injustice and pain. That’s what I would say."

Sometimes, a little pinch of coffee grounds can enhance a brown sauce. A
micro pinch.

Plochman's Mild mustard. Possibly some grilled onion and green
peppers on a freshly baked yeast role that's got some heft and
strength to it. Baked beans. German Potato Salad. And some
old staples like salty chips.

Boy that sounds good. I may just grill out this weekend.

In general, sure. Sausages, American mustard mixed with ketchup.
