A time which never existed? Um, excuse me, but isn't there light visible from objects a LOT more than 3 million light years away? Wouldn't this indicate to a reasonable person that the universe is at least as old as the time it would take for the light from the most distant visible objects in the universe to reach us?

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.

Let me try the old Creationist Game:

Well the evolutionists came up with the distance to the stars using circular reasoning, assuming an old universe. But in fact if we go back to when the creator said, 'Let there be light' and multiply a short time times the speed of light we can prove the stars are a few feet way. The distant start theory is just another plot by atheists. It is now common fact (except for those evolutionists) that the stars are orbiting the earth.

Now let's re-write the science books

Um, excuse me, but if that light was shining when you were born, don't you think it might be wise to leave "3 million light years away" an open question? It wasn't all that long ago our forefathers figured out light was not of infinite speed, and even then it took over 53 years of grueling scientific banter to "figure it out."

Have you lived long enough and observed enough to know for certain that "nothing travels faster than the speed of light in a vaccuum?" Preach it if you wish, but don't be surprised if scientific progress, as much as it has slowed down since Charles Darwin, eventually knocks you out of the pulpit.

How long were Adam's fingernails when he was created?
