The Light Travel Time Problem:  
     Distant Starlight and the Age of the Universe

If the universe is less than ten thousand years old, how can we see starlight from galaxies that are millions of light-years away? This question has been the focus of creation astronomy for decades. In this presentation, we will overview some of the major proposed solutions to the light-travel time problem, and see how this research has shaped the field of creation astronomy. Scientific progress is often made through competition among multiple theories, each attempting to explain apparent inconsistencies in the available evidence. We’ll see how creation scientists have used this approach to answer the apparent inconsistency between the data of Scripture and the data of astronomy.
