Hey Manny,
Yes, people will 'believe what they want to believe'. That is a sad point, methinks, because there can only be one set of true things; everything that is true fitting together with every other true thing. And none of those truths are determined by who or how many 'believe in them'!
Now, if the young earth theory is indicated in Genesis, and is correctly interpreted, then there would be an explanation for the 10,000 light year problem right? When I look at a problem like that and then start with the premise that Genesis is true, then I can recognize a proposed solution to the problem. In this case, the answer is found in the concept of 'apparent age'.
Think about it this way. The problem, in fact, would not just be with the stars! When Adam was formed, and came to life he woke up, looked around and saw fully formed trees with ripe fruit ready to be had, the sun (or stars), mature animals, and even rivers flowing with water both upstream and down. All of it was created in the previous week, but as far as he knew, it sure seemed mature. It all had apparent age. I don't see how God would have a problem creating the light from a star arriving at earth at the same time he created the star.
