       @vrsmdThe former can be better explained than that. Dr. Russel Humphreys' Starlight and Time is an amazing read on the subject.

       @masterofthetiger Yes, that is correct! I personally know of three plausible theories that do not contradict the evidence, unlike the theories of the atheists. But I didn't want to show them up too bad...

       @vrsmdWell, some of the theories I have heard of have massive holes (mentioned in an appendix in Starlight and Time). Including the "aged creation"/"in transit" theory. The light speed decay theory has major flaws in that all the evidence that has been brought forth has been invalidated.Dr. Humphreys' book is a bit weird, but it brings it back to the Bible, and stretches the limits about what we know about relativity and physics.
