Re: Young earth?
Not the passage of time there...but the existence of time HERE in spacetime...for the base line.
You've already acknowledged that the passage and existence of time here is just fine. Accordingly, there is no question whatsoever about the baseline. What has been put to you is the fact that the passage and existence of time remote at the remote distance is not required for triangulation. In fact, if the distant stars cannot move because of the lack of time at the distance, then triangulation becomes more firmly established. The two angles and the baseline are all measured at our end, where time is established.
Further, the consistency of such measures with our observations of processes at a distance is confirming that time passes at similar rates as it passes here.
Your inability to provide coherent arguments implies that this time thing is simply a mantra to repeat in support of pure denial. It is nothing more. And your ability to maintain your position by simply not answer questions when challenged is not the same as actually winning an argument.
As much as I like to argue with crackpot physics, your approach of not providing responses is no longer all that entertaining. You are welcome to the last word.

No one hates Creationists; frankly they do not even rise to a level where they could be considered anything more than humorous.
You make a claim that you can destroy all our arguments out of hand in short order any time, yet like every other Young Earth Creationist you never seem to do that.
There is a reason that Young Earth and Creationism are simply jokes and fantasy and that reality actually exists.

Re: A game ... The Star Distance Two-step
The base line is within our solar system and we visit both ends of it. ...
He (time) is blathering about the baseline at SN1987A being the distance between the star and the ring.
You are talking about the baseline for parallax measurements from two extremes of earth's orbit perpendicular to the object being measured.

Re: Quick word to the wise
Time is the measurement between the events, regardless of where the events occur.
Mankind has determined what the units are that is used where he is at to express the length of duration measured, so as to satisfy his mind.
Man experiences time in a certain way, and it takes so much time for things to happen here. In ancient days, and even today to some extent, the cycles of the sun and moon determine the units or days and months. The length of a day eventually became accepted as so many hours. So, yes, man did fine tune and name the time units but did not invent time. Man works with created nature even today, with such things used for time measurement as radioactive decay.
There is existence.
Who can argue with that?
In that existence there are events that do not happen simultaneously.
In a place where time exists, that is the way it seems, that's for sure. Here, things do take or involve time, we are in time.
That would be true everywhere there was existence.
Everywhere there was time. I don't think we can speak beyond our experience here. You could say something like... 'Because we live in time, it is intuitive to think that time must exist everywhere, we know nothing else'. What you cannot say is that 'millions of trillions of miles beyond where we ever have been, the passage of time happens precisely the same as here'!

Re: A game ... The Star Distance Two-step
Absurd. The base line for parallax is usually from earth. No idea what you are talking about as some 'base line' at the SN.
If we take a measure from a point on earth, for example, in June, and another in December, that is six months apart. Six months time. Six months time inside a spacetime that already includes time woven into the very fabric. The space the earth travels is IN spacetime! That means time is involved. Here. Not at the stars.

Re: Direct evidence
I asked about what is known about time far away, and whether we know it is the same. Using formulas that involved distance, and mass, and other things all based on time here does not do that. Apparently you need more than the theory of Relativity to do that.
Time is relative! Time is relative to the place time exists and exists a certain way!

Re: Creationist Epistemology
Your argument fails in two ways, any one of which is sufficient to eliminate an argument from scientific discourse.
(1) It can be applied to absolutely anything, not just to stars.
Your stated belief that time exists the same can and is applied to everything in the universe! My more reasonable, honest and open minded approach, on the other hand is not a one size fits all like your preferred belief.
If we allow ourselves to suppose that what we see has no underlying reality behind it, then we can apply this ultra-skepticism just as well to marmalade or owls as to stars. It's just a variant of "what if this is all a dream, and we know nothing of reality?" Well, philosophers may discuss this in their armchairs, but it has no place in science. And it has no place arguing against something in particular, such as stars, when it could be used just as well against anything else.
How about quit 'supposing'?
Let's see what you be knowsing.
(2) If applied to stars, it works equally well (or badly) no matter how real stars are, no matter how much time they undergo, and no matter how well-evidenced all this is.
Like a strawberry custard story then, it applies equally to everything. OK. Not impressive, that.
Now it is the absolute hallmark of a vacuous, worthless argument that its goodness (or badness) is not in any way dependent on what the facts are.
Thanks for shooting your own argument in the foot, saves me time.
Go and find an argument that does depend in some way on the evidence --- if you can.
To be honest about what is known or not is science in a far more real sense than hiding in darkness pretending one knows it all.

Nobody cares. You're gonna sit there and whine and cry about how much the scientists don't really actually know all the things they say they do, and people are going to continue to accept scientific explanations because they work and solve problems. Nobody cares whether or not you are willing to accept that we know such things.

Re: Direct evidence
Fantastic
Why do you trust time has passed on bodies like Titania which probes have viewed through telescopes, but you don't trust it when another man-made object in space, Hubble, sees stars via a telescope?

Re: Does time pass in other star systems.
It boils down to this. When we see things moving from one place to another here, we observe that time passes to allow the change in the spatial coordinates of the objects.
Space and time are interwoven here, if science has it right. Naturally things moving here take time.
When we observe distant planets move around distant stars, the best understanding we have is that time is passing there also.
You canot observe planets unless time exists out there exactly woven with space as it is here though. We absolutely require time to know distance. If the distance to a so called planet is not known, which it is not unless time exists there too, then the object could be almost any size or distance. No way to say it is planet sized at all. None. Total belief based hooey that has been thought of as science til now.
Because that's the best understanding we have here, and nothing we observe operates to invalidate that.
I understand and sympathize. You do the best you can living in the little land of time. From there it all seems a certain way, and no one really forced you to think about it before.
If you want to dislodge that understanding, you have to propose an explanation as to how things move without time passing. And then we have to test that explanation.
Before getting to the distant train stop of Explanation, we need to get a cab to the train station.
