Why do Galaxies in the Young Universe Appear so Mature?

Originally posted by twhiteheadI am not arguing against the Youtube video you saw. However, saying that there is a clear difference in the maturity of younger galaxies does not mean that the younger galaxies were not mature also. That only suggests that some galaxies seem more mature than others, which leads to the conclusions as to which galaxies may have been created first.

Originally posted by RJHindsIn your cosmology, galaxies cannot possibly exist (at least not the ones we see) because of the speed of light. But I realise you don't know even basic math so you can't understand why that is.

You shouldn't even be discussing astronomy, because according to you, astronomers must necessarily be wrong about just about everything.

They would understand that the Creator of the universe created mature and complete galaxies very quickly and that there is no new stars or galaxies being created today. They would also realized that the speed of light has no effect on how fast the Creator made the galaxies, because the light was a product of the Creator also.

There are only three possibilities with regards to the speed of light:
1. Either you are wrong about the age of the universe and it is billions of years old.
2. Astronomers are totally and utterly incorrect about the distances involved, sizes involved and if they are wrong about those they are wrong about just about everything.
3. Most stars that we think we see are actually illusions of an imaginary past that never existed.
I know you don't actually understand the very basic logic that leads to the above conclusion, but nevertheless those are the only possibilities.

How far do you think it is to the nearest star? Like Alpha Centauri?

Seems like our "creator" went through an awful lot of work specifically to obfuscate the truth and deceive us.

Its very simple, when we see a supernova that is millions of light years away, then the star it came from and the supernova itself could not have existed in a YEC universe. Therefore God went to the trouble of creating an imaginary history of stars exploding galaxies rotating etc. In fact he made the imaginary history extremely convincing going to the trouble of creating billions of billions of imaginary stars each with a history as long as recorded history (several thousand years). He made the imaginary history so perfect that astronomers can deduce all sorts of things including the mass of stars the chemical composition of stars etc. Its almost like he wanted us to believe those stars actually exist. In fact he did it so well that RJ actually believes stars exist, but cant quite explain how we can see them because he has a book telling him its impossible.

The Bible does not give you an answer, but astronomers do, but you cannot base your answer on the deceived minds of astronomers, so do you have any idea what stars may be, or are they just little candles in the sky as far as you are concerned?

I see you mentioned galaxies earlier in the thread. The Bible says nothing of galaxies. So you should believe galaxies exist, unless you were listening to the deceived minds of astronomers perhaps?
