Ping!
Yes, and dont forget that ‘young’ star-light that was created to ‘look’ like ‘old’ star-light, billions of years old.
Creation "scientists" love to play pretend. They remind me of a Lord of the Rings fan claiming to be a real historian because he's studied all the ages of Middle Earth, or a Star Trek nerd claiming to be a linguistics expert because he speaks Klingon.

Ad hominem arguments are also amusing, yes?
You are obviously unaware of the current state of creation cosmology. You might want to read the following to get caught up to speed:

The 6,000 year old Earth brigade never shows up late.
I’m still waiting for the answer to: “What came first...the chicken or the egg?”
Considering everything started from some common point during the "big bag", There is no "older and younger" starlight. It's just moving further away, which also causes it to "stretch out" and change frequencies giving the illusion of Older and younger starlight.
Without the assumption of millions of years, however, the fossil data begin to make much more sense.
Especially those chicken bones the Chinese bury after eating a chicken for for dinner, which these fossil hunters then dig up and claim are millions of years old, AND the missing link.
Creation cosmologists have their telescopes pointed squarely at their own navels. You can't tell anyone with a straight face that a quasar that's visible 2.4 billion light years away is only 6,000 years old.
The chicken of course. Why, do you think the egg laid itself? You see, a male and a female chicken climbed out of the premadoral soup, and began laying eggs. That's how evolution theory works anyways. And this happened, -despite the odds of it happening even once being trillions and zillions against it- millions of times over.
Do you believe that humans existed at the same time as dinosaurs?
RU Series?
You think the light we think we're seeing from stars is actually from the Big Bang? It's just being stretched by some Divine stairmaster? Sunlight isn't actually from the Sun?
But, it wasn't 2.4 billion light years away 6,000 years ago. It started from the exact same spot all quasars did when nothing exploded and became everything.
Huh? You better think that through a little more. It'll dawn on you eventually.
The distant starlight problem is no longer problem for Creation Cosmology. May I suggest you google Dr. Russell Humphreys along with the words “starlight and time.” As you will see, it is quite possible for the Earth to be thousands of years old, and distant galaxies to be billions of years old, and yet owe their existence to the SAME creation event. It has to do with Einstein’s GR and gravitational time dilation.
Give the following layman’s link a read, and then PM me if you want to read the scientific papers that back up the same:

You've confused creationism with evolution. Creationists believe -- ZAP -- on the fourth day, two chickens climbed out of the "premadoral [sic] soup" (my bad -- out of the "dust of the ground") and started laying eggs.
Scientists, on the other hand, don't think chickens evolved ex nihilo. They believe billions of small changes over billions of years led to birds with a mixture of primitive and derived traits that we can isolate as chickens. No generation of chickens looked much different from its parents, but changes built up over time.
Can you reconcile “six literal twenty-four hour days” with gravitionally dialated time?
