What do creationists do with stars exploding 7.5 billion light years away?An aging star, in an heretofore unknown galaxy, blew up "in a gamma ray" 7.5 billion light years away. It's light finally reached Earth last Wednesday, March 19! [FYI: A light year equals 5.9 trillion miles!]
The light was powerful enough to be seen "with the naked eye."
The star blew up "when the universe was about half its current age, before Earth was formed..." Before it went boom, it "was about 40 times bigger than our sun."
How exciting is that?
It's really sad, though, to think that all those kids getting fed creationism will not be able to function very well in a world with stars exploding 7.5 billion light years away...I mean, the earth is only 6,000 years old, right?

They will claim it was all a trick of Hollywood. How do they explain anything they do not accept?
