The Universe CANNOT be 10,000 years old

Speed= Distance/ Time.
So the farthest star (In the Milky Way. So not too far relatively speaking) is 900,000 lightyears away. 10,000 is about how old you say the universe is.
So 900,000/10,000= 90 lightyears per year?
But the lightyear is the measure of how far light can travel in one year, and scientifically speaking light... cannot move faster than the speed of light.
Yet we still see the light produced by that star. And that is just in the Milky Way. We can observe that, as well as entire galaxies thousands of times farther away. Given only 10,000 year to move at the speed of light, we could only see the light from the nearest stars given their current distance.
The universe is about 42.6 billion lightyears across, but the OBSERVABLE universe is only about 13.8 billion lightyears across. Every day the observable universe grows as more light is able to reach our eyes. Imagine it as a balloon expanding in a sphere, where the balloon is the observable universe, the sphere is the actual universe, and we are inside the balloon. We are inside the balloon and can only see as far as the balloons expanse.

As the link says, by the time a photon from the edge of the universe reaches us, the universe has expanded, but the photons are still traveling to us. So how could the observable universe be so big if light has only had 10,000 years to reach us?

36 RepliesWaiting for all the "but gods 7 days could be a billion years each" bullshit that they use to explain their beliefs. Sorry folks, if the evidence contradicts your beliefs, it's time to change your beliefs.

Agreed. Nice thought process. Dig it.

5 RepliesEdited by Sturm with no Drang: 1/31/2016 4:29:45 AMSo, would you disapprove of the idea that the Earth is over 10,000 years old, OP? [spoiler]It's kinda obvious that the Universe is way older than just 10,000 years old. Is this supposed to be a bait thread or what?[/spoiler]

I'm not sure how fast radio waves travel but imagine your species is in danger so you send a distress beacon not knowing it may take billions of years for any other being to notice.

2 RepliesEdited by Vilhelmus II: 1/30/2016 11:46:47 PMActually, the universe takes offence to this post as it identifies as a 10000yearoldkin that is quantum gendered, and believes you are oppressing it's right to be who it truly is! Stop oppressing it you heterosexual cis scum!

5 RepliesFirst, time is relative, and so light travels faster some places that other places, practically altering the speed of light. This has to do with Einstein's theory of relativity, but I think it is more complicated than than. Second, if Adam was created as a grown man, why couldn't stars be created several billion years old?

2 RepliesThe Universe is approximately 14.7 billion years old according to scientists studying the supposed center of the universe. Earth is 4.1 billion years old. Humanity is a mere 28,000 years old. If the total time of the universe was on a clock, then we would barely be a half second. Put that into perspective.

1 ReplyYou're correct. Everyone knows the universe is a mere 2016 years old

49 RepliesI'm a Christian and I believe the universe is billions of years old. The 10,000 year age of the universe is based on the genealogy in the Bible starting from Adam. Some people believe that Adam was created on the 6th day. I believe the 6 days of creation was Gods way of explaining the sequence of creation, not the actual length of time. Imagine Moses trying to wrap his head around the concept of billions of years. Compare the Biblical sequence of creation to the scientific sequence of the Big Bang. The similarities are significant. 1. There was a void. 2. Then there was light. 3. Matter begins to coalesce into galaxies, stars. 4. Stars age and die. Heavier elements form. Rinse and repeat. 5. The Earth forms and gets impacted by a Mars sized planet. 6. The moon is formed and the earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. This later allows seasons and life. 7. Comets deliver water to Earth. 8. Life is created, animals then man. 9. Adam and Eve are placed in the Garden of Eden. 10. Being immortal, the don't track birthdays. 11. For a very long time they obey God. 12. They done messed up. I hope that apple was good. 13. Adam and Eve are kicked out of the garden. 14. Now mortal, they begin counting the years. This is where we get the 10,000 years. I believe that God spoke the Big Bang into existence.

1 ReplyThe Universe was created last Thursday. We were all put in the universe with false memories of every that happened before last Thursday. And no, I'm not making this theory up.

2 RepliesTime is a figment of human perception. The universe is vast and strange and oh, so wonderful. Until you can explain it, until you can understand it, just [i]enjoy[/i] it's wonders.

2 RepliesThis assumes a number of things, and relies heavily on scientific positivism. The universe could very well be 10,000 years old, in fact, it could have all happened into existence last thursday. Though I choose not believe either of these things, I must accept that they are possible.
