The size of the creationists Universe

[Darwinian]

Firstly, I haven't been around for a while. Apologies for that Things to do, people to see, rats to buy etc. etc.

Also, since I've been missing this forum seems to have grown quite a bit, so, this question is aimed at those who subscribe to the notion that the Universe is only about 8000 years old.

Now, we know what the speed of light is and we also know the mass and scale of the Universe. If indeed it where only a few thousand years how do you account for the fact that the observable Universe is about 27 billion light years in diameter?

If on the other hand you are going to tell me that God simply created the Universe with the size it has now, how do you account for the fact that we can observe objects that are well over 8000 light years away?

Easy ... Big G created the light, "in transit" ... why? Who knows, but Big G de man ... can do anyfing

I think someone who is a fundamentalist will probably discard the fact that we can observe light several milions lightyears away. They will prbably say soemthing that it can't be certain or something like that. A similar argument when it come to carbon dating and such.

They are in other words complete idiots who will say anything to protect their own faith.

They have other arguments one of which is the decreasing speed of light ... it hasn't but they use some skewed data to make it look like it has.
