The Book of Genesis implies that the distance of the oldest star to Earth is how far light would travel during the age of mankind: about 6000 light-years. In 2014, a team of researchers discovered that the oldest star is indeed only 6000 light-years away.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20140318194104/http://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/6012/the-oldest-star-in-the-known-universe</ref><ref>https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20140218094324908</ref>
