You've fallen into his trap, RD...
Here's a rope to get out:
User Name , "appearance of age" is entirely subjective.
To an atheist, or to anyone who believes the earth is old, the universe "appears" old.
To me and YE Creationists, however, the universe "appears" young.
The question is not "how old does the universe 'appear' to be?", it's "how old IS the universe?"
When you assume that the universe must be as old as it appears to be, and you believe that the universe is much older than 7-10 thousand years, that's when confirmation bias attacks.
The reverse is true for us YECs as well, if we assume that the universe must be as young as it appears to be, and we believe that the universe is about 7-10 thousand years old, that's when confirmation bias attacks.
Which is why remaining objective when viewing the evidence is so important.
Assuming one's position to be true won't work for EITHER side.
My point was that it is impossible to create a GIGANTIC universe with distance stars and seemingly lengthy starlight travel without.... great distance and seemingly lengthy starlight travel.
They assume immense time.
We assume God stretched out the heavens, like He said that He did.
We understand their view.... they reject ours based on their required philosophy (due to rejecting God and His Word).
