Re: what debate?

Off Topic! Please do not respond.

Hello, Armbar. Welcome aboard.
How is it that talking about light speed excludes helping starving kids? Am I not allowed to do both?

Re: WRT Distance of Stars
Hi, new guy!!
In anycase the distance to the stars are also very dificult to measure, so there is doubt about the actual distances.
Ummmm.....no. Not much doubt at all for the nearest few hundred:
Cosmos Home - Cosmos
And about 4% uncertainty in the 25,000,000 light-year distance to the galaxy Messier 106. That's not a lot of "doubt."

Re: The Universe and all matter were maturely made
It will be pretty wierd he would create everything maturely exept for the star's light.
No weirder than that he would create light from supernovae that could only have exploded before they were created. Supernova 1987A is 168,000 light years away, by trigonometric measurement. If its explosion's light was created "mature" in your cosmology, it records an event 155,000 years before the universe existed. That is "pretty weird."

The only explanation for stars I have come from Genesis.
Don't you find that explanation rather startlingly useless here in the age of telescopes? We've been chemically analyzing stars for about 150 years now, and finding planets around them at the rate of two or three a month. You need a couple dozen stars for "signs and seasons," and we've now cataloged several million of 'em, only 6000 or so of which were even visible before 1610 when Galileo put a 'scope on the sky.
Do we need all hundred billion of the stars just in our own galaxy for "days and years?"
