This is really, very, VERY basic physics, yet this guy doesn’t get it, but is old enough to use a computer, surf the internet, and post in proper sentences.  Some choice examples:
Here is a question you.
So a light year = the distance light travels in a year.
You mentioned the figure 11 million light years away.
So my question is how are we observing this light 11 million light years away now?
I’m not 11 million years old, i’m 20.
and
The light you see from stars is what you see during the present moment. If it takes millions of years, then we wouldn’t be able to see it as no observer can live millions of years.
Starlight would take millions of years if it was created millions of years ago, however starlight is created now. The light you see from stars is what is being created the very moment you see it.
You have to use simple common sense and logic.
So basically your entire OP which attempts to put a hole in YEC has been debunked.
Oh the stupid, it hurts soOoOoO bad!
OWS member obviously…
Not stupid … just blinded by belief.
This person’s belief requires him/her to deny that light travels at the speed of 300,000 M/S in a vacuum, and claim it arrives instantaneously. If you assume that light travels at infinite speed, this person’s arguments logically follow from that.
This will not be the first time religious fanaticism has made otherwise rational people deny observed reality.
Infinite lightspeed would be interesting.
Causality would be totally screwed though.
Kristopher, you’re overthinking it and imputing beliefs and values to this fool for no logical reason. and adding a little projection, perhaps? Remember Occam’s Razor? The simplest answer is most likely the correct one. The imbecile is just that, an imbecile plain and simple, and from what we read is most likely a drooling mouthbreather.
And in a truly just world, stupidity of that magnitude would hurt. Horribly.
Maybe it’s just a smartass. Then again; we’ve all seen this before. A bigot sees the object of his bigotry as inferior, stupid, and probably evil, and he bases all interactions on that belief. Some churches teach that certain sciences are nothing but evil and deceptive. If a certain branch of science is evil, designed by Satan to deny other people’s faith, then obviously it has to be wrong. QED.
Maybe part of our problem is that we assume that civilization’s scientific and technological advances mean that some of human nature’s darker tendencies have somehow been overcome. Without that assumption there can be no real surprise at something like this. It hurts, yes, and it can turn deadly, but it’s never been terribly rare and it isn’t going away.
Gerry: I read his arguments.
Don’t assume your opposition is stupid. It might make you feel better, but it leads you to underestimate them.
He does not show imbecility in his posts. Just belief driven deliberate blindness.
Mollbot: quantum entanglement has already screwed causality. It is now possible to send a signal outside of your light cone. The folks at Toshiba did this a few years ago using 700 yards of dark fiber-optic cabling.
I suspect we live in a completely stochastic Quantum Mechanical universe … not necessarily a causal universe.
