It would have to have been 5,000 lightyears away as the Persians describe it sometime before the turn of the first millenium.
However, as you understand that answer - God did it - is utterly useless and incredibly weak. I am hoping over the course of years the person that puts it forward as an argument realizes that.
I think the mistake we make in these discussions is to expect YEC's to see the light (so to speak) during the debate. This is unlikely but in the wee small hours, maybe years later, they might start to think...
Its all we can realistically hope for.
