→Problems for Young Earth Creationism
In regards to the question of how one can see starlight from millions of years of light years away, young earth creationists scientists commonly mention two things. First, these scientists assert that the [[Big Bang Theory]] has a star light-travel time problem and cite the work of Dr. [[Charles W. Misner]]. <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v25/i4/lighttravel.asp</ref> Secondly, creationist [[Barry Setterfield]] has proposed that the speed of light was faster in the past. <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2002/0809_cdk_davies.asp</ref> Thirdly, the work of young earth creationist scientist Dr. [[John Hartnett]] is cited who proposes a young earth creationist cosmology that rejects an [[a priori]] [[methodological naturalism]] approach to the question of how one can see starlight from millions of light years away. <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v17/i2/cosmology.asp</ref>

Because velocity = distance/time, a young earth creationist wishing to postulate a universe of approximately 6000 years old faces a number of problems if one uses an [[a priori]] [[methodological naturalism]] approach to the issue:
