Dr. Humphreys found that if you assume the universe has a center, and that God stretched it out (rapid expansion) during creation week, that there would have been a time dilation event near the Earth that would slow down time on Earth to a standstill while time passed in the universe at normal rate. This would result in a few days of time (creation week) passing on Earth while billions of years worth of time pass in the rest of the universe. This explains how the starlight could have gotten to Earth in a few Earth days.Check out the review if this is of interest to you.
Paradoxically, it also means the Universe is both 6000 years old and billions of years old, depending on the location of the clock.

Interesting Take on the Starlight Issue
I don't know much about Dr. Hartnett, but this book seems to present some compelling arguments with regard to the starlight issue which we've been discussing here.
Adam,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the note about Hartnett. I've got the DVD version of Starlight and Time by Humphries so Hartnett should be good reading building on that.
