Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Ok, actually they are darkies. Here is a picture from this past
Christmas party yes, they do look brown.

By chance Mr. Hutchins, would any of those be for sale?

Sale? What? I sell cotton and tobacco. I have said it before, I do not have any slaves or people working as indentured servants. All my employees are free to walk away at any time. From time to time, some do leave. But the benefits I offer are very difficult to not acquiesce to.

Lol, maybe. But you can read about stellar distances, standard candles, equations and so on. They've worked out a complex system for studying Gods creation. Like I was saying in another thread, science doesn't have to be against religion - in spite of what atheists say, they often agree.

I have lots of standard candles around my house. [non standard ones too] I even have lots of equations in my computer. But it is pure foolishness to combine them into that silly gobbledegook that heathen scientists do. It sounds a lot like witchcraft to me.

So this is space now? You people are nuts. You make no sense whatsoever!

Who does this character think he is fooling. That vacuum is much smaller than a room.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Lol, "vacuum" is used as a scientific term for a space that has nothing in it, not even air. Science uses many technical terms that may seem unfamiliar to those not well versed in it.

So you are into poetry I see.

Lady, we don't tolerate racism on God's favorite forum.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

What really makes me laugh is how these sick-o scientists claim that the earth is a billion-carillon years old, when the Holy Bible tells us that the earth cannot possibly be older than about 6,000 years.

How do they expect anyone to take them seriously with nonsense like that?

Hello all. I am new to the forum. I completely agree with your post. Common sense says it can't be factual. These scientists say that light travels at 183,000 miles a second and if this star is 100,000,000 million light years away, that number is just too hard to comprehend... for a human, but not for God. He doesn't need math though, he knows the answer to that and to all questions.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" away?

Here is a question you.

So a light year = the distance light travels in a year.

Scientists say stars are million light years away.

So my question is how are we observing this light million light years away now?

When in a closed room, you need to shine a light on objects in order to see them. The light must travel to the objects and then back to your eyes. This is not necessary for light from the stars, they emit there own light. Their light has been traveling from those stars for many years until it reaches your eyes or a telescope that collects the light.

The stars you can see in the night sky are not "millions of lightyears away". The most distant visible star is probably no more than 2500 LY. The most distant thing you could see is the Andromeda Galaxy, aka M31, at 2.25 million LY.

I'm not millions of years old, i'm 20.

I fail to see how your age would be relevant to what you can see, unless you expect to lose eyesight as you age

You contradict yourself.

You say that stars are not millions of miles away but the Amanda Galaxy is millions of miles away.

How do you reconcile this?

Seriously, the answer is in the wording.

Andromeda isn't a star. It's a galaxy. 'Andromeda Galaxy'

Galaxy's are built of stars so if you you can see the light from the Galaxy it must be from stars.

I'm talking about individual star. The Andromeda galaxy is the farthest object we can see naked-eye.

So the. You agree that secularists claim that star light is millions of years old in direct contradiction of the Bible.

In a sense, yes. The star light from the galaxies are millions of light years away. Most of them you would need to see from telescopes. If it contradicts the Bible, then it's proof that the Bible is incorrect.
