You could easily find the stars are not at all where they are supposed to be if you hopped over where you couldn't quite catch one of the 12 dimensions projecting their image (takes 12 separate images to create a 3D object in a 3D hologram).
That would put the old time religionists and their nearby Heaven with a really personal God right back in business wouldn't it.
Except you jumped the track there that's where I was going ~ that today's Creationists don't hold a candle to their progenitors who really did think the universe ~ their universe ~ was an awful lot smaller. In fact, back in the day a modern Creationist would probably find himself tarred, feather, ridden out of town on a rail, and then burned as a witch for blasphemy.
Where do you get the idea that the ancients thougt the image was small? See for example Ptolemy's Almagest (IIRC) as quoted by C.S. Lewis.
