It didn't take long for somebody to tell me that was
not possible, because..."According to the WORD
OF GOD, the light could only have existed for
6,000 years."

Doogie--

no matter how well-versed one may feel in either their scientific or
religous convictions, i find that there's no point for two folks in the
above situation to argue the issue. that's because neither has the
faintest
hope of budging the other, and there's lots of possibility of injured
feelings. therefore, i simply tell a person who mentions God's "word"
that
i can't explain why He choses to have the universe appear this way to our
science, but that's how it appears based on our current understanding.

flame war here is to take sides with either of these topics. Let's make an
effort to keep these topics under cover.
