How does Larry O'Hanlon know this???

Have a look at this page:

Discovery Channel :: News - Space :: Black Hole Is Most Distant Ever Found

In the first sentence Larry assumes that because the black hole is the most distant it must be the earliest one. This might be true if his second assumption [that we can see all of the universe from Earth] was correct. All this in the first sentence. Is this not being a little too self-assured?

He notes later on that "The greater the red-shift, the greater the distance."! See these links for a scientific look at red shift theory: http://www.orionfdn.org/papers/arxiv-2.htm and http://www.biblelife.org/bigbang.htm [there are many such pages].

Unfortunately this sort of blind assumption of unproven facts is all too often where modern 'scientists' [and 'science' reporters / journalists??] go terribly wrong....
