That's crazy talk. Obviously the light from distant stars was created in transit to fool heathen astronomers, just like the fossils of prehistoric creatures were implanted on Earth, to fool paleontologists.

No no no, fossils come from the great flood, from the Bible. At least, that's what creationists use as an argument in debates....

As for star light: yes, that's right.

Which I guess means carbon dating isn't real. Which I guess means our entire understanding of chemistry is wrong. Only possible explanation.

You think god is so stupid that she didn't pre age those bones so that they appear older than they are using carbon dating?
