But can't the creation be six days on earth with millions of years passing in the outer universe?
Would that be possible with God?

'If light only started eminating after God created it, then most of the sky would be pitch black, since there is not enugh time (in 6-8,000 years) for starlight to reach us.'
Good point, I never thought of that, could he have meant light in the universe generally though.

'Either way God lied to us, either the universe is young but was created to decieve us by appearing old, or the universe is actually old and God lies when he claims otherwise in his book......
Either way God is a liar and hence not omnibenevolent, hence not the christian God.....
Hence as mentioned earlier piss poor theology.... '
However he could have told us it took six days , because it did on earth. And as we understand it (think hard) he was not lying, it took six days, even if millions of years passed in the outer universe, God says it took six. He could go into a deep ad scientific arguement in Genesis about how ,if you were on a star billions of miles away, you would be very old.lol. But why do that if you can say it took six days. If you witnessed it from earth it WOULD take six days so how is he lying?
I've got a headache now.lol

'If it isn't Humphreys work then what mechanism do you use to account for this (rather immense) time differential? '
I'm not really claiming much , apart from 'all things are possible with God.' Nor have i contradicted evidence, as everything suggests the stars are old. But I believe in God so I could be totally wrong with my little 'time' theory. Figure that one out.lol.
