Just a question to those who believe the universe is young?

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.

Update:

@ezal

I bet you've never looked into the sky at binary star systems or gazed at the nebulae around us for hours on end.

The universe is too beautiful and magnificent for your bronze age myth to do it justice.

    The simply fact that we humans on earth are completely insignificant when considering the sheer size of the universe, is reason enough for me to realize that no God would centre his attentions on such primitive, unimportant, conceded forms of life, with very little regard to the true beauty of the Universe.

    the common answer could be that the universe develop into created with the visual charm of being previous. That the two those galaxies and so on are not that far-off of the sunshine develop into created 'in transit' to us. In different words, their God is intentionally mendacity and deceitful.

    By the way, you may have to explain to people what a light year is. Many of the Christians on here don't know what it is, or even how it relates to time and distance.

    because, the Universe isn't young. It's somewhere around 15 billion years old. Frankly, you're ignorant if you believe it was made 6000 years ago.

    Simply put, it's ignorance

    Numbers, estimations, theories etc, and yet people still cant see the beauty that God has given us. They just cant see it.
