Supernova observed in Real Time

440 million light years away. It begs the question, if the universe is only 6,000 years old, why would God create it to not only appear older in a constant state, but why would he incur an event of this nature, so distant, to appear to us 439,994,000 years older than the universe itself was in existence?

We were even more popular before Darwin's time..

Be silent, heretics... (Yes, I'm kidding. :P I'm not too certain myself anymore...)

Have you read these? (I can't do without sources...)

How can we see distant stars in a young universe?
Exploding stars point to a young universe

Although the latter article may only sideways be related to the matter. ;)

Oh, and Gman - JOHN CALVIN was a YEC! Surely that should settle the matter! :lol:

Was a YEC'er... I'm sure Calvin is an OEC'er by now... We're going to have to wait for you though to figure it out... :wink: :lol:
