:::My restated postulate that the "speed of light can never be increased" does preclude the scenario you describe, whereby a static observer increases the observed speed of light with the assistance of a moving observer.  This is expressly precluded by my restatement of the postulate.

:::But your postulate about "independent of the motion of the light source" does not preclude increasing the speed of light beyond the ordinarily observed "c".  Indeed, some relativists now insist that "c" need not be the ordinarily observed speed of light, but can be any assumed upper bound on the speed of light, and might be much greater than "c" as traditionally defined.  My postulate is what underlies the above fundamental formula of relativity; your postulate requires redefining "c" in the above formula.

:::Your biblical quote is a good start but it's unclear what it means, if anything, to you.  Do you ever ''apply'' the Bible in your quest for the truth?  Do you earnestly seek the truth?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:36, 25 April 2009 (EDT)
