"but isn't there light visible from objects a LOT more than 3 million light years away? "
You forget. God created light in mid transit so we would 'think' the universe is older than it 'really' is. This is typical creationist brillance.

If God created a universe 6,000 or so years ago that, to all intents and purposes, appearers to be billions of years old; then for the purpose of observing and predicting the universe (using the scientific method) there is absolutely no use is "knowing" that the universe is only 6,000 years old.
In other words, Creationism is useless.

There's really little point in attempting conversation with the super-naturalists.
To do so only encourages them in their thread hijackings.
Ignore them completely and they'll move on to targets who'll give them the attention they crave.

God created light in mid transit so we would 'think' the universe is older than it 'really' is. And why would She have done that?
