do creationists believe in eistiens theories such as the speed of light for eg?
their belief that the world is only 10to20000yrs old would have to come into question then if they believe in the speed of light as there are stars that we see that the light takes longer than 20000yrs to get hear
were as i may have got who discovered the speed of light wrong by giving credit to einstein i was not trying for advocacy i was merely wondering how they try and explain it away

I believe in creation, but I have never thought the world was only 20,000 years old.
The speed of light is an abserved measurement, not a 'belief'.
Einstein 'Believed' he had proven his Steady State theory; i.e. the Universe had no beginning and will not end.
Scientists now know the Universe had a beginning, and that the beginning of the solar system, and the formation of the Earth, followed a sequence of events remarkably similar to those descrbed in the first book of Genesis.
So what Einstein 'Believed' was wrong.

The speed of light is an observable fact, not a thoery, and it was discovered prior to Einstein's general theory of relativity - which has nothing to do with your question.
While your observation is correct - the earth cannot be younger than the light coming from the stars millions of light-years away - your grasp of facts makes you a poor advocate.

Even though I'm no longer a young earth creationist, I still have to say that this is one of the weaker arguments in favor of an ancient earth. The Bible says the purpose of stars is to provide light and direction and seasons for us on earth, so we would not expect God to create the stars and then wait around a few thousand years for the light to get to the right place, and then create the Earth. We would expect Him to go ahead and make the light visible immediately....just as He immediately made Adam fully grown, even though he was just a day old. Having said that, I'm no longer a young earth creationist.

C = Speed of light is NOT a theory. The speed of light can be measured very accurately. It is approximately 186,000 miles/ sec. HOWEVER, we don't know what the speed of light was 10,000 years ago.. At the time of creation there is no doubt that conditions were magnitudes different than they are now. This most likely includes the force of gravity and the speed of light.

Not really. Some believe that the light was created "en route" to make it look like far away bodies were billions of light-years away.

You're mis-informed in that Genisis 1:1 says "in the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth"
Noboby knows exactly how long ago that was and Jehovah put in place all of the things that scientist
have descovered and have not done so yet.

light that travels from every star travels at different speeds, so no.
if light from our sun travels faster than light from distant stars, we are in essence WRONG about how far away those stars are, because we assume their light travels the same as the suns or electric light.
Source(s): Black holes are stars whose gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape. THEREFORE THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS DEPENDANT UPON GRAVITY, AND THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF EVERY STAR IS DIFFERENT. lol.
