If the universe is only 6,000 yrs old, how is it that objects millions of light yrs away can be seen?

Question

When you add up the generations of the Bible, you come to 5758 years.

Most estimates based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, and in particular the belief that the Hebrew word : "yom" in Genesis refers to a 24 hour day, cluster around 6,000 years :� 2,000 years for both the age of the Earth and of the rest of the universe. These estimates are promoted by young-Earth creationists. In 1738, De Vignoles stated that he had accumulated no fewer than 200 computations of the date of creation, all based upon various diverse interpretations of the Bible. Most conservative groups within Christianity still follow the estimate of Dr. John Lightfoot, a 17th century Anglican who estimated that creation occurred during 4004 BCE.

Where's all the Christians?????

Answer 1

The universe is not 6,000 years old. The universe was created last Thursday by the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

All of our memories of a life before last Thursday were implanted by the Invisible Pink Unicorn in order to test our faith.

Blessed Be Her Holy Hooves

Answer 2

Silly atheist, don't you know that's what the firmament is for. There are no objects that far away.

1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

PS: I'm not a Christian, and I did not mean to give that impression.

Answer 3

Only millions? Try billions of light years away.

Easy. The earth is not 6,000 years old. Try over 4 billion years, created from cosmic dust and created from the products of a dead star (Many elements in our bodies were made from star fusion: We are star dust).

Science is cool.

Answer 4

.
Young Earth creationism is a religious doctrine that teaches that the Earth and life on Earth were created by a direct action of God relatively recently (about 6,000 years ago).

So the 1million lighte years away means that it is 1million light years away from the earth.wait....let me pull out my science book.....according to my book"light yes is the distance light travels in one year; a unit for measuring distance in space equal to about 5.9trillion miles." so know you understand that its not the distance that 1mly that your talkin bout. its like how far a light can travel in one year. im kinda confused my self but thats hw i think it is. PLEASE PICK ME AS BEST CUZ IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIND MY LAST YEAR'S BOOK AND I HAD TO FIND WHAT PAGE IT WAS ON AND DO ALL THAT STUFF : ( wait i think i got it!!!!!!!! the 1mly is the distance from here to where ever and we can see it because its REALLY REALLY huge, like the sun. even those its more than 1mly away from us its still hot right? i think i got it!!! thanks for giving me an opertunity to review old stuff :) science is my 2nd favorate subject
