Default If you believe in a Young Earth, do you also believe in a Young Universe?

Just wondering, do you believe all the evidence which points to the universe being at least 10 billion years old is wrong or misinterpreted?

Hi Mike, YEC would argue that God created light enroute, anotherwards like was created say ten million years away from "its source". thus they make God into a deciever.

Hmmm. Sounds (according to such conjectures) like God is intent on creating atheists then.

Actually, one would expect some atheists to believe in YEC (just not agree with Christians about the 'C' part) if the evidence were compelling enough. It does no good to simply assume beforehand that they are all brainwashed into believing "the establishment" over their own lying eyes.

Thank you for that. So simple, so to the point.

(Why can't I learn to write like that? I always get wordy.)

Best,
