Quick YEC Debunks

[John V]

Why would you say otherwise?

Because in the scenario we're discussing, the light is associated with heavenly bodies. It's not just photons hitting earth randomly.

Alpha, if God created the universe as you say he did,

I didn't say he created the universe that way. It's one possible explanation, which you brought up yourself. Maybe there's other explanations. I haven't really studied it.

he's no better than Descartes' evil demon.

How so? You make this charge when you haven't even bothered to discuss God's purposes in creating the cosmos.

To reason things as you have is two steps from accepting the flat earth.

How so? You just make proclamations that YECs aren't in their right minds without supplying reasoning.

It's not just God stretching the light so we can see things. 

Yes dear.

That answer doesn't work because, as RR pointed out here, that would mean that we are seeing stars die that never existed in the first place.

Why doesn't that work? Is there a reason God couldn't/wouldn't create this way, besides you saying that he wouldn't?

Do you see how little sense that makes?

No. RR makes a good analogy to Adam, but then completely gets the analogy wrong.

Do you agree with his point on premises?

Look at it this way. One of us is right in this scenario. I think you should at least do some independent research here, if not enroll in an online astronomy course. I could sit here and give you information that proves my case all day, but I think you should take the time to learn the science yourself.

LOL. Your case isn't based on science. Your case is based on what you would do if you were god. It's just an argument from personal incredulity - I don't think a god would create stars with their light already reaching earth.
