Dr. Craig is a liar.

Can you explain that?

As you might know, I co-host Astronomy Cast, and get to pick the brain of the brilliant astrophysicist Dr. Pamela Gay every week about whatever crazy thing I think of in the shower. We were talking about photons one week and she dropped a bombshell on my brain. Photons do not experience time. [SNARK: Are you worried they might get bored?]

Just think about that idea. From the perspective of a photon, there is no such thing as time. It’s emitted, and might exist for hundreds of trillions of years, but for the photon, there’s zero time elapsed between when it’s emitted and when it’s absorbed again. It doesn’t experience distance either.

The closer you get to light speed, the less time you experience and the shorter a distance you experience. You may recall that these numbers begin to approach zero. According to relativity, mass can never move through the Universe at light speed. Mass will increase to infinity, and the amount of energy required to move it any faster will also be infinite. But for light itself, which is already moving at light speed… You guessed it, the photons reach zero distance and zero time.

Photos have finite lives; every time you turn on a light bulb, they are emitted, albeit, in finite quantities.  It's just absurd to say that they have "zero distance", that is, that they are everywhere in the Universe at the same time.  That is not what special relativity states; rather, SR states, from the perspective of the photon, time does not elapse, however, from the perspective of others, time does elapse.  SR is a theory about measurements in different reference frames.

You're trying to "read" SR back into Biblical texts, and you are ignoring entirely Biblical exegesis in the process.  What did the author of 1 John mean by "light"?  He meant what his culture taught him, that is, that the Earth is center of the Universe and above the Earth there was a dome of water suspended in the Heavens; above that still, there was God, a cosmic source of light.  As always, Wikipedia is a wonderful source of knowledge:
