→‎Counterexample 9 (Jesus action-at-a-distance): But the healing of the centurion's servant is probably not the only place where there is action at a distance in the Bible
Line 56: Line 56:     
The quoted verse doesn't strongly suggest "action-at-a-distance" in the relativistic sense.  Light could travel the distances mentioned in the passage in a fraction of a second, which is well within the precision given in the verse (an hour).  The verse and relativity are not in contradiction here.  This should be removed.

:I have an open mind about it.  In the the healing of the centurion's servant, if the Greek is translated as same "moment" then relativity is impossible, but if translated as the same "hour" then there is no conflict with relativity.
