[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 266549, member: 11717"] I dont mind getting into this discussion. However, from my perspective, you cant keep God (religon) out of it. :) When you obsreve the stars, you are not looking at the starts themselves but their images so to speak. If a star 100 light years away goes out tomorrow, you will not know it for 100 yrs. That's how we are able to see stars 14 bllion light years away. We see light that is 14 billion years old. When you see the red fireball of the sun halfway behind the horizon. you are not seeing the sun because it has already set. It takes about 9 minutes for the sun's light to travel to earth. Now having said that, I believe that God created the universe about 6000 yrs ago. So that light is really not 14 billion years old. How do we see it then? There are several theories on that. One I have heard is that when God created the stars He cuased a Big Bang like event. Only He did it in one day and not over 14 billion years. He basically hyper expanded the universe in one day. Another theory is that He created the stars basically where they are with light in place, so-to-speak, through out the universe. I've heard another explanation, but it is very technical and I wouldn't be able to repeat it. It's all kind of mind blowin g when you really start thinking about it. :rolleyes::D [/QUOTE]
