It is a great time to be a Creationist!
SB: yeah just thinking, we are catching the balls or photons that were thrown that long ago. and
that basic ball mitt we created cost roughly I dollar per year per light travel time.
Money well spend to emulate the creator that obviously wants us to work hard find out how it was done. (if that is important) and yeah, looking at the works can tell us to know a lot about the worker.
It will not prove Gen 1;1 to be right though, because we already know that the Earth, and the elements in it, were not created in the beginning.
A lot of eternal energy was available, and used at that time,-- entropy.
