I will be sure to run around, waving my arms, screaming “repent! the end is nigh!” when the neutrinos arrive so I can say “I told you so” when light appears in the sky.

Take the distance from Betelgeuse to here in miles. Subtract the distance from the Sun to here. You won't even notice the loss until you get out to fourteen digits or so.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
