The problem is that if the universe is only 6,000 years old, one has to explain how light from stars more than 6,000 light years from Earth has reached us in the time available.

A similar argument has been made as a problem for the [[Big Bang theory]], but recent research has shown cosmic inflation to be a likely solution within the standard cosmological model. Cosmic inflation has worked particularly well in defending the Big Bang given that cosmic inflation's predictions of cosmic background radiation have been precisely verified bu NASA and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe.<ref>NEW IMAGE OF INFANT UNIVERSE REVEALS ERA OF FIRST STARS, AGE OF COSMOS, AND MORE.</ref>

Creationists have proposed a number of solutions. The currently-favoured solutions involve time dilation, in which time passed slower on Earth than in other parts of the universe.
