To those who think the universe is less than 6000 years old, what do you think of supernovae?
I'm just curious about what your explanation of supernovae (when a star explodes and lets off huge amounts of light) and nebulae (the remnants of the star, consisting of huge clouds of star dust) are.
I know that a lot of you think that your god just made the light in transit from the original source explaining why we can see stars which are millions of light years away but what about supernovae?
An example would be the crab nebulae. This amazing cosmological beauty is located 6500 light years away. We can not see it as it is. We can only see it as it was millenia ago.
It is remnants of a giant star that exploded thousands of years ago. Both Chinese and Arab astronomers saw this explosion in the year 1054 and since it's 6500 light years away, this explosion happened before the universe was created.
There are many more supernovae, the furthest being 10 billion light years away. This star apparently exploded 10 billion years before the universe was created.
Why would a god create light from a star even though that star isn't there anymore?
Surely if the universe was young, we would never see supernovae from stars more than 6000 light years away,
Why would we see a see a star explode when there never was a star in the first place?
If you insist that the universe is young, you have to admit that this god is a very deceptive, sly god, not worthy of any respect.

@I really need to know
It's thousands of millions of years old.
The atoms that make up your right hand could have been expelled by a different stellar explosion than your left hand.

It's a conspiracy spread by satanic scheming scientists! How can the universe be more than 6000 years old when a number that big makes my head hurt so much?
