#In [[Genesis (ch.1)|Genesis 1:6-8]], we are told that one of God's first creations was a firmament in the heavens.  This likely refers to the creation of the luminiferous [[aether]].

#[[Minkowski space]] is predicated on the idea of four-dimensional vectors of which one component is [[time]].  However, one of the properties of a [[vector space]] is that every vector have an inverse.  Time cannot be a vector because it has no inverse.<ref>Time isn't a vector.  It is a component of the vector space known as "spacetime".</ref>

#It is impossible to perform an experiment to determine whether Einstein's theory of relativity is correct, or the older Lorentz aether theory is correct.  Believing one over the other is a matter of [[faith]].

#It is impossible to perform an experiment to determine whether Einstein's theory of relativity is correct, or the older Lorentz aether theory is correct.  Believing one over the other is a matter of [[faith]].<ref>The Lorentz aether theory gets the same (zero) aether breeze as SR, so no Michelson-Morley experiment can distinguish the two theories, but it fails more complicated situations, such as gravity.  It has been abandoned.  This isn't a matter of faith; it is a matter of careful scientific deduction.</ref>
