So figure out how long it would take light to travel two feet, posting a candle lighted two feet from your eyes. It's not instantaneous, it just seems that way.
I actually can't believe I am writing this to an adult person. She really thinks seeing a candle is instantaneous!

And you actually believe that we receive information from objects that have to travel in the light that far away and land on our eyes? What happens to the inverse square law? Logically speaking, wouldn't the light be so dispersed that there would be no way for the information in the light to show up on the retina?
