intelligent design?

Question

how old is the universe?
how long does it take for light to travel from the nearest star to earth?

Answer 1

it is unknown exactly how old the universe is, but it is estimated in the low tens of billions of years old.

the nearest star is the sun. it takes about 8 minutes for light to travel from the sun to earth. light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, and the sun is about 93,000,000 miles from earth.

Answer 2

Evidence indicates that the universe is about 14 billion years old, give or take a billion.

If by "nearest star" you mean the sun, 8 minutes and change.

It take light about 4 years, 3 months to arrive from Proxima Centauri, the next closest star.

Answer 3

ID theory does not hold a stance on the age of the earth. If you want to argue about that go talk to a creationist. Believe it or not they are very different systems.

Answer 4

The question is; who are you going to accept the answer from?
You mentioned intelligent design, so you want to know from the designer or from a mere mortal imperfect being like scientist?
According the the Vedic scriptures the duration of the material universe is limited. It is manifested in cycles of kalpas. A kalpa is a day of Brahmä, and one day of Brahmä consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas, or ages: Satya, Tretä, Dväpara and Kali. The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Tretä-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dväpara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years. In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatära, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again. These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahmä, and the same number comprise one night. Brahmä lives one hundred of such "years" and then dies. These "hundred years" by earth calculations total to 311 trillion and 40 billion earth years. By these calculations the life of Brahmä seems fantastic and interminable, but from the viewpoint of eternity it is as brief as a lightning flash. In the Causal Ocean there are innumerable Brahmäs rising and disappearing like bubbles in the Atlantic. Brahmä and his creation are all part of the material universe, and therefore they are in constant flux.

About 50 years of Lord Brahma has already passed. So this universe is about 355 trillion and 20 billion years old.
Do you think this is a myth? I rather to believe in God's words than ignorant humans.
