He will never have to pay anything.

Most of what gets called “science” WRT creation, is just psuedointellectual psycho-masturbation. There is no science there. It’s all media circus.

Umm, okay. Let's try a simple one. The speed of light is generally accepted as a fact (despite it's inexplicable omission from the Bible). Trigonometric basics like sine, cosine, and tangent, too. The distance to individual stars is pretty easily measured using the parallax. Again, since the ~93 million miles from the earth to the sun isn't mentioned in Psalms or Deuteronomy, some might have a problem accepting it, but let's skip proving it here. Basically, the angle that a nearby star moves through as the earth moves form one side of the sun to the other (yet another odd omission from Joshua Judges and Ruth, but the Wise and Holy Church still slaughtered plenty of people who insisted that we are heliocentric), we can use that angle and that distance and trigonometry to get the distance to said star.

Since most stars are more than 3.5X1016 miles (aka 6000 light years) away... and yet we still see the light from them that had to start travelling from said star to us, just for us to be able to see it... that means the galaxy is clearly more than 6000 years old. The light has been travelling for a far longer period of time.

Or is all that - Light and High School Math - just "psycho-masturbation"?
