→Biblical Young Earth Creationist's problem with a Biblical Old Earth
Taking the bible literally, there are no gaps permitting an undocumented period of time between the creation week and the fall of the temple in Jerusalem in 587 BC <ref>http://web.newsguy.com/rubyredinger/age.html</ref>, which is well established by archaeology and secular history. Accordingly, the birth of Adam can be placed at approximately 4,163 BC and the initial creation of the universe six days prior.

Which means that none of the light from the furthest stars could have reached the Earth yet, since light travels at 186,000 miles per second, and the furthest stars are over 15 billion light years away, it would take their light 15 billion years to reach Earth.
