Ooh, that's interesting. Maybe God dictated that man not be able to go past the speed of light because that's the speed at which He operates and going faster than that would lead man to be able to see him, which is something that man is not supposed to do. I never even began to think of the Bible as being part scientific allegory (other than the obvious creation of the world stuff).

This may be one of the more interesting theories I've heard. There's a problem with it though. If the Chrsitian god is the creator of all things, then "he" also created time and speed and such. Hence, "he" would exist outside of those constraints. It is not a matter of moving "as fast" as "him". "He" would operate beyond speed.

It's like saying "I was just driving at the speed of <as round as an orange>".
