I know there are plenty of Young Earth Creationist's out there (earth is 6,000 years old or less). When you look at those amazing pics from the Hubble and the explanation of some huge galaxy that has been colliding with another for 300 million years or something, do you think the scientists are deluded?
Example: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdes...
Do you think the galaxy is even as far away as they claim? (541 million light years away or so). Do you think it's closer? I'm honestly curious.
Sorry for the dup, but I didn't get one single answer before.

I'm not sure how most of them would argue. They could go several ways since I've heard most of the arguments. It oculd be argued that God can do what he pleases including pull light from very far away at FTL speeds. Some might argue it a hoax or that they aren't actually that big or far away.
I am a creationist but I subscribe to several unorthodox theories. One, is the Genesis gap. I don't think we are the first created beings on the earth. Our "age" may be a few thousand years old but in Genesis 1:2, where the "earth was without form and void" the Hebrew word void literally means something that was there but was destroyed. So the universe can be infinitely old while we were still created.

It appears that a number of people taking the same class (and asking the same homework questions without doing their own reading) are online tonight. I guess that reading a textbook or assignment and just thinking about it is too hard for the current generation of students. Such a shame - we will have a lot of people flipping burgers when they graduate from school and find out that the real world is not like school. If you just read the 4 options, only one is correct so only one is the answer to this question. We are not located at the centre of the universe, since there is no centre. The universe is not contracting. Our galaxy can't repel others (even without reading your textbook this should be obvious). That only leaves one (I'll let you figure out which one - maybe get Dion or Ana to help).

On the other hand, there are creationists who went to the trouble of creating an email scam announcing that a photo of the Helix Nebula (which they refer to as the "Eye of God") captured by Hubble's camera occurs only once every 3000 years.

Good question, but I'll be surprised if you get a coherent response from a creationist.
