Easy. When the omnipotent God said, “Let there be light!” There was light EVERYWHERE. THEN God separated the light from the dark.

What is “The origin of the light was 6,000 light years away”. More dumbass questions for $400, Alex......

Thanks for posting the article.

One thing I note is that the argument over starlight reaching the Earth is kinda silly.

It is possible that the EARTH was ‘created’ 6000, 10000, or 20 million years ago, but the UNIVERSE was ‘created’ first.

Light from the stars would be reaching ‘everywhere’, so when ever EARTH first appeared, light would continually be reaching it.

Whenever EARTH was created, I doubt the ‘sky’ was empty of stars.

The principle of the tree and man you mention also applies to light and light sources. The answer to the question posed by the title of the article is not difficult.

If God creates light ( day 1), which light is striking the earth, and then (day 4) creates the light sources, the light striking the earth was always doing so from the beginning, it was coalesced into the light source. The distance of the source in light years cannot tell you the age.

The premise of an old universe involving light distance and time of light traveling through space is based on the assumption that there was first a light source and then light. The Bible says the premise is false.

If the Bible says it, it’s true. Noah’s Ark was in fact the exact size as written, and two of every animal was crammed into it, and there was enough room, and enough food, and the animals didn’t eat each other, and their excrement didn’t fill up the whole ship, etc.

How anyone can question an exact literal interpretation of the bible is beyond me. Oh, and Moses was right to send his army back to kill all the boys and rape all the women after a victory.

I say it is indeterminal, ( :rofl: ) even if taken literally. But then I think trying to take everything in the Bible as literal is kind of silly.

Many are having trouble maintaining attention past the thread title:

And then God said, “No, I said a BUD Light!”

I guess being a freeper has become so depressing, what with that illegal alien marxist Obama and his plot to turn us all into mooslims and make us a territory of Kenya, that they can't even think about it for now.

1. I like it when they get that confused dog/head sideways look

when they are faced with a very obvious contradiction and they reason their way out of it in a very unreasonable manner.

2. You know what...

Good for them. They have to start from the beginning to see where they went wrong.

3. Well, it's a massive improvement over...

Their usual litany of auto-fellatio techniques! Give the poor things SOME credit. I mean, this is a bit above their usual Liver Fluke IQ level discussions, and at least they haven's started a "Strike Force", "Tiger Team" or build a fort for their He-Man Woman Haters Club!

4. Definition of indeterminal:

Indeterminal = something which may end soon, but ummm... we're not really sure yet. We'll have to get back to you on that. kthxbye.
