So....lets say there is an all powerful God that created the heavens and earth and physics and light and everything else.....but he couldn't accelerate light....you know.....so that it corresponded with His "let there be light" speech?

My argument against would be, why does he need to accelerate the light from a planet that is 2.5 million lightyears away which we can't see with the naked eye?

Considering we come from cells that for in our mothers wombs, I can safely say my digestive system is only about 23 and a half years old, unless I'm missing your point??
