I read a previous thread that shared an article in which the universe supposedly just passed its 6,000 th birthday.
For those of you who believe that the universe is this young, or even if you believe that the universe is less than 1 million years old I have a question for you. When I go stargazing this time of year I see the Andromeda galaxy, which is around 2.6 million light years away. That means that the light from that galaxy that is arriving in my telescope left 2.6 million years ago. How is this possible if the universe is only 6,000 years old? :S
