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

[Meek and Humble]

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?

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

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

I remember these "scientists" saying that we can see roughly 20 miles over the horizon of a body of water. This is contradicting. I am with you on this. How do we see stars "millions of light years away"?

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?

Exactly, it is complete nonsense.

First of all, they claim that a light year is 5,878,499,810,000 miles. They also claim Virgo is about 100,000,000 light years away. That means Virgo is 587,849,981,000,000,000,000 miles away. These atheist scientists actually believe we can see something that is 587,849,981,000,000,000,000 miles away. Not bad for a 73 year old man to be able to see something that is 587,849,981,000,000,000,000 miles away. I must be a Superman.

And then the time difference. If it would take 100,000,000 years for that light to get here so I would have to stare at the sky for 100,000,000 years before I would see Virgo. While in reality I can see it right away.

Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh.

Very true Brother, then they come up with all sorts of stories about why we can't see something 50 miles away.

The light isn't shining from anywhere near that far away. Science is insidious this way... the logic they use is fine and all but they're always basing things on ridiculous premises.

Light doesn't have a speed. It's not a thing and doesn't travel anywhere. It projects itself from a source and shines upon an object instantaneously. Anyone can see that. It's obvious! Except maybe to heathen scientists who have ulterior motives and will build on this one lie to create entire false narratives about the universe, some heresy called the big bang and more.

Give these Godless scientists no ground whatsoever, I say.

You all do realize that the light doesn't just start shining from the stars when you're born.... The earth is millions of years old therefore light from these faraway stars has reached earth by now... So... It's completely logical.

You all need a good physics lesson.

What kind of logic is this. Light is either on or off.

You do realize that light was created just over six millennia ago:

Genesis 1:3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

You need a good Bible lesson.

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

if a star is burning, in your "terms", I would say that light is on.

If a star is millions of light years away then it would take a million years for the light to arrive at earth (traveling at 299 792 458 m / s)....

We can see the stars, therefor the earth is atleast a million years old.

Light does don't travel. That is just silly. I cannot put light in my car and drive it somewhere and then release it.

Well that's backwards isn't it. In order to prove the star is millions of light years away, you have to prove that the earth is millions of years old.

Sorry, but we know for a fact that the earth is just a little over 6,000 years old. All you need to do is count the generations in the Bible.

You need a good English lesson I'd say.

God saying light doesn't necessarily mean the literal "light"....

The meaning could also be interpreted as the truth being revealed.

Notice the speed that light travels at.... 299792458 meters per second.
Its pretty silly to think of light standing still actually, If this was true then if you
closed the blinds in your house, the light would still be inside! Lol, what kind of logic is yours now?

Of course you cant put it in your car.... Theres no way you can capture it!
