Yes you make a valid point. But if we assume light travels at 1.8 million miles per second than it would take a long time to reach another star indeed.
But the light is already there so if we can not see the light crossing the galaxy so one would have to assume that it's light never leaves its star!
Same with our own sun. Does the light actually leave the sun or is it just simply a reflection of the sun onto us. There is only a few hand fulls of people to ever leave this earth that could tell us the truth about what's out there but they will never tell us the true facts.
Until I can see, touch, taste, smell and hear something I don't believe it. So is the earth sphere? Is eye sight faster than light speed? If we don't believe anything that comes out of the governments mouth than we simply can believe the earth is sphere because after all it was kings and governments telling us it is sphere.
