→‎Light created in transit: Add ref and Moon-Spencer theory
Line 21: Line 21:  
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.

=== Moon-Spencer theory ===
 +
Some creationists promoted an idea by Parry Moon and Domina Spencer that light somehow takes a shortcut through "Riemannian Space", taking no more than 15 light years to reach Earth from the outer limits of the universe.

However, this idea never really caught on and appears to no longer have adherents.<ref>Humphreys, 1994, p. 46.</ref>
