: Tricky God Strikes Again.
I was curious about light years recently. More specifically, if a star is hundreds of thousands of light years away and we see its light, how is the universe still 5769 years old?
So, I went on AskMoses and chatted with one of their scholars who told me that the stars were created with existing light and if they move or explode then that is the way God created them and it just appears to be exploding millions of years ago, but really it was created 5769 years ago in that exact way.
It's late at night and I'm very dimwitted today and AskMoses has no patience for me, I think. So help me out here.
1. Did the star in the above scenario ever actually explode? When?
2. Did the star in the above scenario ever actually exist? When? Before it was created to look like it exploded or after?
3. Do creationists not believe in light years? Speed of light?
4. Doesn't that mess up with physics in general, GPS systems and so on?
5. If you were God, wouldn't you just make the stars closer? Why go through the whole charade of creating illusionary stars that appear to have existed and exploded millions of years ago if the world is less than six thousand years old?
