Starlight problem
Young Earth Creationist View Regarding Starlight
In regards to the question of how one can see starlight from millions 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. [1] Secondly, creationist Barry Setterfield has proposed that the speed of light was faster in the past. [2] Thirdly, the work of young earth creationist scientist Dr. John Hartnett proposes an alternative, creationist view, by theorizing the Earth was trapped in a time-dilation field caused by extremely strong gravitation during the first few days of creation, from Earth's point of view, while billions of years passed for the rest of the universe. He attributes the field, it's removal and the continued balance in our solar system (after the field was removed) to divine intervention. [3]
