Well, I suppose. But it's like my car. It's a 1991 model. Not all the believing in the world on my part will make it a new 2003 model. The light that comes from the computer screen to your eyes travels at a specific speed. The light from the farthest stars that we can observe has also travelled at this speed. Given the distances to the furthest stars, it must have taken a considerable length of time for it to reach us. This alone would imply that time has a history measured in lengths of at least nine figures... It's just an observation but it has obvious ramifications.

Sure, as long as you refuse to believe a Creator could have created the star with already-emitted light.

Similarly, you could reject the notion that He created the already-aged (adult) Adam and Eve.

Again, it's just a matter of whom you believe. The light-years prove nothing more than your assumptions.
