What about light from stars that are tens of thousands of light years away. If the universe is only 6000 years old, how did that light get here?

You think a God that made everything could not make light in flight?

With that approach, what evidence makes you think it was 6000 years ago rather than last Thursday?

(This is the reason creationism, ID and the rest are religious beliefs, not science; once you start positing creation you have no rational or scientific means to discern among the various versions of creation. Scientifically, the Flying Spaghetti Monster becomes as likely as any other creator.)

The Flying Spaghetti Monster, please, that is the most sacrilegious thing I have heard. The nerve...

Everyone knows beyond a shadow of a doubt God is George Burns, with Morgan Freeman as his understudy.

Lord, creator of everything including humor, forgive me...

(What do you mean no! Yeah yeah real funny...)

LOL, I don't dare ask the creator for evidence in things I don't understand to begin with (no human mind can grasp forever anyway, we are not equiped to understand except but what we can digest).

If you want to believe that a big hunk of rock of various elements came from nowhere and exploded that is ok with me, it is your soul. Perhaps your big Spaghetti Monster created it from nothing for you.

I believe in God forever way beyond the making of time (beyond yours and my grasp of reality) and He gave us what we needed to know. I know God placed "stumbling blocks" for those like you, and for a reason the path is narrow the way I go and wide the way you go.

Now you are not the first to ask man about light and stars.. God put Job in his place once (Job 38)...

Job 38:19Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof..

Job loved the Lord.. but you don't question some things now do ya.

Job38:24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Job38:6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job38:7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

These things we will know when God wants us to know.. That is all I need to know.. and a fool can waste time on it if he so deems.

Please do not blaspheme the Flying Spaghetti Monster by putting it in the same category as “any other creator.” All other Gods are pretenders. The FSM is the Light, and only true Pastafarians will see heaven.
