No -- you only see that light precisely because it has reached your eyes. Until it does, you won't see it yet. Why is this concept so hard for some people?

I wouldn't expect anything different from someone who believes in an imaginary god.

"Why does light have to reach us for us to see it?"
Because.
"Couldn't we see it on it's approach?"
No.

If you put your eyes closer to it, then you'll see it sooner ;)

Breathtakingly stupid. The fast light bouncing off of the slow light?

Only if there's some light preceding that very same light, faster than light. WOW, how much more contradictory can THAT sound ?

Homeschooling just isn't working, is it.
Seriously, we really need to bring in some checks and balances.
Here is a basic introduction
http://www.preventblindness.org/vlc/how_we_see.htm
Light reflected from an object passes through the cornea of the eye, moves through the lens which focuses it, and then reaches the retina at the very back where it meets with a thin layer of color-sensitive cells called the rods and cones.

Epic phailure at science.
We see light precisely because it has reached our retinas. So, no we can't see light that hasn't reached us yet.

I'm doing this all from a laptop that's being shipped to me.

Maybe I have a Pulitzer Prize winning novel that I haven't written yet, Why do I have to write that novel to get that prize? Can't they just give me that prize already??

No. Light has to hit your eyes for you to see it. You learn something new every day! :)
