As you look up into the sky at night and see the uncountable stars and planets and, if you have a telescope, other objects such as supernovas, you surely have wondered How can distant starlight reach us in just 6000 years?
According to the Bible everything (including the stars, etc.) was created about 6000 years ago, yet we hear of stars that are thousands of light years away. And the supernova seen on the left, named supernova 1987A, is reported to be 170,000 light years from us. How can this be if the world and all of creation is only about 6000 years old?
Well, Mark Harwood has written a very interesting and insightful article, published Jan 17, 2009 on Creation.com, which I think you will find very helpful in understanding this 'problem'.
