This is an excellent question. Well, I have been doing some scientific research on diamonds and I learned that the light refraction is much much higher than space (pure vacuum like scientists claim). What this means is that the speed of light slows down as it passes through a thick substance like a diamond. In pure space, light travels at 186,000+ miles per second, whereas through a diamond it is 77,000+ miles per second. That is more than half the speed!

Knowing this, we can rule out the stars being millions of light years away because a) The universe is only 6,000 years old, and b) diamonds slow down the speed of light, therefore increasing the time it takes to get here. If stars were millions of light years away, the light wouldn't have reached the earth by now. Therefore, the stars must be closer than scientists say.

We know light travels at 77,000 miles per second through diamonds. And we know that stars have existed since the beginning of the creation (Genesis chapter 1), so they couldn't be that far away. Let's read what Genesis says...

Genesis 1
14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

So we know the stars were created within a 24 hour period. This means the distance of stars can be no more than 24 hours x 77,000 miles per second. Let us now do some math to prove star distance.

60 seconds x 60 minutes = 3600 seconds in a hour
3600 seconds per hour x 24 hours = 86400 seconds in a day.
86400 x 77000 = 6,652,800,000 miles away maximum.

Over six billion miles away! This is much, much shorter than atheist scientists postulate. But, I want to clarify that this does not mean the stars are six billion miles away, but only that it is the maximum possibility. More likely God put the stars only 77,000 miles away so their light only takes a second to get here. Or they could be only 500 miles away as well. That makes sense since it goes along with the sun's distance.

Either way, mathematics prove the stars are between 500 miles and 6 billion miles away. This is hard science, real science, not the crazy beliefs and blind faith of atheist scientists.
