Sk: How do we see light from objects so far away [∞]
If the earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old how can we see starlight that’s many, many light years away?
Many who don't understand Big Bang have this question.. and merely parrot it as scoffers rather than take the time to find the answer. You imagine that light has to travel a great distance imagining that things are moving away from each other in fixed space. The theory says that space itself is stretching. If the Big Bang happened, the light all existed in the same point. As space stretched, the light did not get separated and then have to travel great distances. It would have been stretched right along with space itself. Is there evidence of this. Yeah. It's called frequency shifting.
However, if you read the Bible to find out about creation, you miss the point. Jesus said it speaks about him. The creation story, though literal, is primarily a prophetic riddle concerning Christ. You may get your belief about the Big Bang wrong or right, but it won't help you in times of distress and tribulation. Good luck with that.
