Strange answers I must give, then:
Andromeda, which is 2.3 million light years away. So we know that the universe is at least that old because it takes at least that long for light to reach us. If the universe is 6,000 years old, it would be impossible for us to see something that is 2.3 million years old, notably the light from Andromeda. |
I have no idea why God could act in such a deceitful manner, but conceivably He could have created a universe with a series of light "beams", already stretched out in space, that give the impression of a galaxy already in existence.
Basically the light from Andromeda wouldn't have originated from there - God would have "placed" the light closer to us so it would seem that Andromeda lay 2.3 million l.y. away.
Fuck knows why He'd do something as crazy as that, but they say He moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform...
