Well, the Gaia satellite launching next year will be able to measure the distance to stars by parallax (no use of red shift, etc.) to the galactic center, about 30,000 light years, which, in a rational world, would put the last stake in the decomposing carcass of 6,000-9,000 year old Young Earth Creationism.

Please explain. Why does finding the stars in a particular place (as indicated by light rays emanating from them) have anything to do with whether they were created?

(Some subtle implicit assumptions may be involved).

Cheers!

So, what if they find the stars are not in the right places?

Think about that a moment ~ then, look up an old article about holographic universe?
