I never claimed billions of years. I only claimed that it appears to be billions of years. You have not disputed the apparent distance to the stars. You have suggested that a star that appears to be billions of light years away is in fact billions of light years away, does currently exist, but was created more recently than the time it would take for ligh that it isn't and that almost everything I see up there is part of a non-existent history.
My claims have been that the stars and the light were made at the same
time. The amount of time it takes the light to travel was first brought up
by you. You can continue this line of you said or he said, or come up with
something else to say. History assumes you know the events, I'm claiming
God created the stars and the light, gave a statement on how and what
He did, you are the one assuming time (ie history) by saying you know
what happened for how long.
It is no different than walking into a room with what everyone knows is
a 50 hour candle half way burned through, someone tells you they lit the
candle a 30 minutes ago, but you claim it is a 50 hour candle half way
down, so it must have been lit for 25 hours in a row. A history lie would
have been to claim it was burning 25 hours when in fact it was last lit 30
minutes ago. You don't know how long the stars have been where they are
now, you also don't know how long we have been here, but you assume you
do. You assume a great deal of things have been going on for quite awhile
to come up with the time you think have passed.
