Add mention of logical fallacy and one explanation
Several solutions have been proposed by creationists to explain how a young universe may be reconciled with these observations.
Several solutions have been proposed by creationists to explain how a young universe may be reconciled with these observations.
They also point out that there is a logical fallacy in the argument, as the observation that many stars are millions of light years away is one of ''distance'', not ''time''. No matter how reasonable, it is a ''deduction'', not an '''observation'', that the starlight from stars millions of light years away would have required millions of years to reach Earth.
=== Light created in transit ===
Some creationists have proposed that the light we see from stars more than 6,000 light years away was not emitted by those stars, but was created 'in transit' by God.
However, most creationists reject this explanation, as the light contains images of events that would therefore never have actually happened, including [[super nova]], meaning that we are seeing an image of a start exploding, but a star that never existed.
This would make the creator a deceiver.
