there is light in the universe we can measure very accurately that is millions of years old. can you tell me how that is possible if the universe is 6000 years old? im happy for you to refer to the bible for answers.
Man is only speculating that light is millions of years old. Man can measure
approximately how fast light travels now but does not know if it always had
a constant speed. Man must assume things that he can not know own his
own in the estimate of the age of light.
The Holy Bible says God created the heavens and the Earth in one day. He
tells of this creation from the point of view of one being on the Earth. So
light was created before any stars that we think produce the light we see
from the heavens. God did create our sun and stars to project light, as well
as the moon to defect light, to the Earth.
God then stretched out the heavens and according to scientists it is still being
stretched out, because some scientist say distant stars seem to be moving
away from the Earth faster than the speed of light. Even though the stars
we see today are very far away. It may have not been so at creation if we
believe what the Holy Bible has to say about it.
Therefore, I do not think that the time it would take for light traveling at the
estimated speed we know it moves today to get to the earth from a distant
star can prove beyond a doubt that the star or the light is a certain age. We
would have to assume, basically, that it has always been the same as it is
today and we have reason to believe, even from science, that it has changed.
