There was some guy who made a convincing argument about how the universe could be 6,000 years old from the Earth's perspective, and billions of years old from another reference. Hence the 6,000 years old, Earth-time. However, the guy could have had a more Anglo surname, than your guy, but they could be the same, or have the same idea.

The way Farmer (a professor at Indiana State University) did it was to simply have folks create a "pocket universe" ~ looked just like the real universe, and you could see all the distant galaxies and so forth, but it only extended out to the Oort cloud where it simply ended ~ the rest was just an image.

The stories he wrote about pocket universes are all quite entertaining. One is called "lava lamp world".

That's Dr. D. Russell Humphreys

His "Starlight and Time" was unabashed in starting from a Bible literalist perspective and provided what I believe is THE answer to the speed of light dilemma.

His interpretation of the Genesis "waters" as being H20 instead of fluid matter or plasma was a bit too English centered literal though.
