Not to put words in your mouth, but you will say that It is true that the universe is 13.5 billion years old, and it is also true that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. But it does NOT follow that the size of the universe is simply the distance light traveled in 13.5 billion years. You can’t stop there. Why?
um i think you dont understand the whole speed of light thing things can go faster than the speed of light if they dont have mass like tachyons, and some other particles i forgot their name that act wery strangely sometimes they act like they have mass and on other times they act like they dont have mass
If a laser is swept across a distant object, the spot of light can easily be made to move at a speed greater than c.[34] Similarly, a shadow projected onto a distant object can be made to move faster than c.[35] In neither case does any information travel faster than light.
Sorry to throw a wrench in your theory but can you tell me what the speed of thought is compared to the speed of light? Oh wait, your cosmologists never considered that as a viable question to even be asked, have they? So by what standard do you secularists think you have considered all possible scenarios regarding where we are, how old time and space is, how large and expansive it is or how far into it we can see?
the speed of thought is slow compared to the speed of light one of the reasons you have a 2-3 seconds of safety distance between vehicles
