Did God create light on it's way, or did light travel faster in ages past. It would be interesting to know right now.

God is above His creation and can suspend some of what He has created. Jesus ascended to heaven defying gravity. The sun stood still for Joshua and the earth's rotation reversed for Hezekiah.

Be that as it may, there are substantial arguements for "intelligent" universal design that cannot be so simply dismissed. Please avoid such ungainful summaries. They benefit nobody.

So, its silly to hold God to our literal "days".

The Bible even says "a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day".

I don't believe the creator of everything would deceive us by on purposely building the universe with an aged appearance, or by accelerating light or starting it in mid-flight, etc. Nor would he have the universe set up in such a way that our best most-reasoned analysis of it brings us to the conclusion that its really big and really old... but its actually small and young and if we don't believe its small and young despite everything we see with our own eyes (which he created too) then we all go to hell. No, that'd be wrong. It'd be evil. God's not evil, and if he were, then we're all screwed and we're just wasting our time here until we die.
