text: young-earth believers!!?? if the universe is young and it takes millions of years for light to get to us from many stars, how can we see them? did god create light in transit? was the speed of light faster in the past? does this have anything to do with the big bang? i'm a young-earth believer too, but i'm confused by that. as a fellow young earth believer, i read a few books that cover radioactive dating, evolution, big bang, plate tectonics. the whole gambit. the light is the only aspect that i have not heard a good rational explanation too. most scientists use the light in transit answer. since the rest of the bible is proven true to me, i take the light part on faith. i know that god has said in several places, "he will confuse the wise"
