Either way, saying that the value has gone up since we started at 5000 years from the bible, and that that's a good reason to believe it will continue to, is silly.

Look at the deep field pic, 13.2 billion years of light, look at the small dots (farthest galaxies or closer stars) and tell me because a small telescope in space built by man can only see this far that must be close to the end. Fact is, it's "silly" to live in a bubble.
