Be bolder.
Ask instead: Did God create the light from stars located hundreds of trillions of light years distant from Earth EN ROUTE at the time of Creation, so that we would now observe that light, and those distances, and -knowing the speed of light in a vacuum is constant- would come to the false but evidentially-supported conclusion that the universe is several orders of magnitude older than any numeric estimate that can be derived from a literal reading of Genesis?
Personally, I'd rather conclude that Genesis is an inaccurate work of Man than call God a liar.

Oh boy! Are you going to get it now. These threads are better than watching the "The Three Stooges." It's so stupid, it's funny.

I'm absoutely bolder.. I've learned on here though to give certain people small doses as to not overwhelm them. :) In any case I certainly agree with you. I have reservations about the bible. If it was actually WRITTEN by the hand of God.... then take it as it stands. But since it was written by man. Ahhh well then we have to assume man's bias and/or need to explain the unknown actually took over for fact.
