If the universe is, as some contend, about 10,000 years old, then the very farthest objects we see can't be more than 10,000 light-years away (any farther, and the light wouldn't have time to reach us yet). ...Thoughts?

I guess if the universe were a mere 10,000 years old that would be true. However, the best estimate today is somewhere around 14.5 billion.

I have to deal with some “young earth” adherents. I’m thinking thru scenarios & reasoning to refute what they consider obvious and I consider absurd.
