Quick YEC Debunks

[John V]

I believe you mentioned, and I am curious what do you think was flawed in my analogy?

The way that I've formed a question/thought experiment in the past, is that it is not just light of the stars, that we see, but a history. We see different things happening, we see stars dying.  So in essence, we have light that shows a star dying, that according to the young view never existed.  So it is possible, that God created the light in transit, so that we could see, just as it is possible, that God created Adam as a full adult.

Yep.

However, I have difficulty, in thinking, that he was created as an adult human, with a past, that never happened.  Memory of a childhood, or even parents, that never existed.

I agree. And, since I can accept an Adam being created at a later stage of what we now consider the normal life cycle - and I accept that that doesn't imply a history - I can likewise accept a star (or just its image) being created at a later stage of what we now consider the normal life cycle, and I don't need to infer a history from it's present state.

To me it's like you make the proper analogy, then just jump 180 degrees to the opposite conclusion.
