Line 36: − − == Origin of the universe == − − The origin of the universe points to God creating the universe. Atheists, using the fallacy of equivocation, attempt to obscure this matter (see: [[Atheism and equivocation|Atheism equivocation and the origin of the universe]]).
→Origin of the universe
This gives rise to the "[[Starlight problem|starlight problem]]" for some Christians, although there is nothing inherently illogical about the creation of light ''in situ'' to inform humanity of the existence of objects farther away than 6000 light-years. Believers in relativity have constructed a number of models which explain the age of the universe as being affected by the time-warping effects of gravity as predicted by [[Einstein]]'s [[General Theory of Relativity]], so that the age of the universe as measured by a hypothetical observer at the edge of the universe might be 14 billion years, but as measured by an observer on Earth is only 6,000 years.<ref>Batten, Don, et. al., [http://www.creationontheweb.com/images/pdfs/cabook/chapter5.pdf How can we see distant stars in a young universe?], chapter 5 of ''The Creation Answers Book'', 2007.</ref>
