We see stars and galaxies that are so far away, it seems that their light would need a long time to get here—in some cases, up to billions of years. Doesn’t this disprove the book of Genesis, which says that the heavens and Earth were created merely thousands of years ago?

No, it doesn’t. In this talk, Spike Psarris will discuss the ”LTT” (light travel time) issue, showing how this seemingly straightforward question relies on multiple assumptions being true—and at least some of them are false.

Furthermore, it is not Biblical Creation which is disproved by distant starlight. It turns out that the Big Bang model has a fatal LTT problem of its own.

The vastness of the cosmos does not disprove the Bible. Instead, it supports the glory of our Creator.
