Brendon, what a question! Yes, we know from the dates God gives us in the Bible that He did create the whole universe about 6,000 years ago. When we hear the term light-year, we need to realize it is not a measure of time but a measure of distance, telling us how far away something is. Distant stars and galaxies might be millions of light-years away, but that doesn’t mean that it took millions of years for the light to get here, it just means it is really far away!
When God created the universe, everything was already working perfectly, exactly how He wanted it to work. So, I believe the stars could be seen (however God did that) on earth as soon as God spoke them into existence. Keep enjoying the splendor of the night sky, but remember that God created it to display His glory so we could behold how wonderful and powerful our Creator really is!

Ken Ham's stupidity about "light years".
And this guy was a science teacher? This guy is the one saying that "evolutionists" don't understand science?

God created the universe miraculously, but made it look like it developed naturally just to fuck with our heads to test out faith.
Yeah. Test our faith. That's the ticket.

Ham was a science teacher like Tim Teboe was an NFL quarterback.

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Re: Ken Ham's stupidity about "light years".
It just occurs to me.
If God created light "on the way" from distant galaxies, he didn't have to create the galaxies.
If the galaxy is notionally one million light years away, then one million minus 6000 years from now the proof of God will be that it simply disappears?
Right?

God didn't only put the stars far away, but placed all the photons in space so we could get the live feed immediately.

I was going to say that you had Ken Ham mixed up with Kent Hovind, but then I remembered this.
