| − | As suggested by the "let there be light" verse in Genesis, God likely created light, not merely light sources. Accordingly, some observed light did not necessary travel from a distant star. This concept is generally accepted as an extension of the [[Omphalos hypothesis]], which is the idea that God created the universe with apparent age. A Christian objection to this idea<ref>[http://creation.com/arguments-we-think-creationists-should-not-use Arguments we think creationists should NOT use], from [[Creation Ministries International]]</ref> is that the light created in transit would make it appear, from an atheistic scientific perspective, that events happened when they really did not. But this is no different from realizing, for example, that [[Adam]] was created as an adult rather than as an embryo. | + | As suggested by the "let there be light" verse in Genesis, God likely created light, not merely light sources.
