If God created the universe in six ordinary days, then it adds upto nearly 6000 years from today. If so, how do we see the stars which are beyond 6000 light years? If we see a star which is 10000 light years away means, the star exists for at least 10000 years. If the age of universe is 6000 years, then it would take another 4000 years to see that star. Any thoughts??
Not all of science is an evil tool. Much of scripture we can deduct the sense of time, distance, other measurements, even can see astrophysics from the WORD. Engineering, Mathematics, Reasoning, Purpose can be deducted.
Look at the time it takes to launch from earth and land on the moon. Now, look at the time it took to send a rover to Mars,
just only one planet away from us. And then look at some of the biggest stars we have within our immediate Galaxy. It would take more than a humans life span to reach these stars from Earth. And we factually know the Universe expands more each passing day.
It really is a mystery. Even though the sun rose and sat and was called as a day during Creation, we have no idea what that actually means if it was originally on God's time, or ours.
Lets take these 2 verses using the Torah:
Bereishit - Genesis - Chapter 1: 11-12
יאוַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים תַּדְשֵׁ֤א הָאָ֨רֶץ֙ דֶּ֗שֶׁא עֵ֚שֶׂב
מַזְרִ֣יעַ זֶ֔רַע עֵ֣ץ פְּרִ֞י עֹ֤שֶׂה פְּרִי֙ לְמִינ֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר
זַרְעוֹ־ב֖וֹ עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן:
11 And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, seed yielding herbs and fruit trees producing fruit according to its kind in which its seed is found, on the earth," and it was so.
יבוַתּוֹצֵ֨א הָאָ֜רֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵ֣שֶׂב מַזְרִ֤יעַ זֶ֨רַע֙
לְמִינֵ֔הוּ וְעֵ֧ץ עֹֽשֶׂה־פְּרִ֛י אֲשֶׁ֥ר זַרְעוֹ־ב֖וֹ לְמִינֵ֑הוּ
וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב
12 And the earth gave forth vegetation, seed yielding herbs according to its kind, and trees producing fruit, in which its seed is found, according to its kind, and God saw that it was good.
This shows immediately the trees God spoke into existence yielded fruit. This is normally a few years process, but these trees where bearing fruit, or right at the moment of producing when God spoke them into existence. Chapter 2 of course, mentions generations. Maybe those trees were grown for enough generations, that when God put them in to action, they budded actual mature seed.
