Do Stars That Are Billions of Light Years Away Prove That The Universe Is Billions Of Years Old?

“The mathematics of this new theory shows that while God makes the universe in six days in the earth’s reference frame, the light has ample time in the extra-terrestrial reference frame to travel the required distances.”

Genesis 1:20-25 “Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth and the open expanse of the heavens.” And God created the great sea monsters, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. “Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth and the open expanse of the heavens.” And God created the great sea monsters, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind:

cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.” cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it was so.

Genesis 1:12 “And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good." “And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good."

Pierre-Paul Grasse, Chair of Evolution at the Sorbonne “Naturalists must remember that the process of evolution is revealed only through fossil forms. A knowledge of paleontology is, therefore, a prerequisite; only paleontology can provide them with the evidence and reveal its course or mechanisms.” “Naturalists must remember that the process of evolution is revealed only through fossil forms.

“Darwin’s Break-down” “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”(154) “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”(154) Have scientists found anything in biology like this? Yes—molecular machines that have irreducible complexity. Have scientists found anything in biology like this? Yes—molecular machines that have irreducible complexity.

“The entire cell can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking assembly lines, each of which is composed of large protein machines.” “The entire cell can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking assembly lines, each of which is composed of large protein machines.” Evolutionist Bruce Alberts, then president of the National Academy of Sciences, said in 1988 :

Human agents do this easily!

Protein’s 3-D Structure Proteins are like sentences. They are made up of dozens of precisely ordered letters– “chemical letters” called “amino acids.”
