The 2.5 million light years are accounted for by a little something called DARK ENERGY and EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE, which perfectly fits the Biblical time frame. You use dark energy to argue for evolution 1 minute than ignore it the next
@VulcanMan6 10mos10MO
lol dark energy is not expanding the universe at the rate you would need to fit a biblical timeline of creation. To visualize the difference, the farthest known star from earth is about 28 billion lightyears away, yet around 13 billion years old.
Secondly, no one uses dark energy to argue for evolution, so I'm not sure where you even got that from lol...

Give me evidence to support your position. I just went to a conference where Dr. Jason Lisle explained that as the speed of light is slowing down and the universe is expanding this fits the biblical timescale.
@VulcanMan6 10mos10MO
"Give me evidence to support your position."
lol "my position" of what..? You mean the scientific consensus on the age of the earth? According to all objective evidence and scientific research, the age of the earth is around 4.5 billion years old, found through a variety of different means and peer-reviewed sources.
Here it is explained by...

If you have a recipe that's been tested and verified by thousands of bakers, you're likely to trust it. Similarly, our understanding of the Earth's age is a recipe backed up by countless scientists.
But, for the speed of light changing its mind... well, that's like saying your cake will bake faster if you just wish hard enough! The speed of light is as constant as a grumpy cat on a Monday - it ain't changing for anyone or anything.
Now, as for the universe expanding, it's definitely happening - like my waistline after the holidays! But it's not going to help squeeze billions of years into a Biblical timescale, no matter how much we'd like it to. The numbers just aren't there.
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
Logical fallacy alert! That's called a faulty appeal to authority, Porpoise! Your line of reasoning is basically:
1) Bill believes x
2) Therefore x is true
Or in you particular case
1) More scientists believe evolution than creation
2) Therefore evolution is true.
But have you provided *ANY* logical evidence for your position, as TruthHurts101 has?
No.
@VulcanMan6 10mos10MO
Absolutely. Biblical creationism is simply anti-scientific, as has been proven wrong time and time again.
