How can stars be 1M light years away if the Universe is 5000 years old??

That is one of those questions that creationists rather avoid answering in details.

If you read my messages on this board, like this one:

you will see that creationists avoid answering similar questions. They pretend I didn't ask.

that he did not reason himself into in the first place" - Jonathan Swift


Remember the time when our friend Galileo Galilei used telescope, logic, common sense and thinking to prove that all celestial objects are not rotating around the Earth.

The so-called Galileo affair, in which Galileo Galilei came into conflict with the Catholic Church over his support of Copernican astronomy, is often considered a defining moment in the history of the relationship between religion and science.

If our creationists were living in the time of Galileo Galilei, they would be saying that earth is the center of the universe, and all objects are rotating around the earth (cause that is what they can see with their own eyes).

But, Galileo placed telescope between his eyes and planets ... and his reality was different.

Today, we know that it could actually be true, cause we can say that Earth rotates around it's axes or we can say that universe rotates around the Earth, and both claims could be true, depending on what our observational point is.

The problem with Catholic Church is that they would reject idea that there are planets and stars rotating around some other objects in space, other planets.

Galileo Galilei presented evidence that other planets in our solar system have moons ... proving that not all object in universe have Earth as one and only center of rotation. That was too much to digest for some members of Catholic Church.

Some fractions of Catholic Church needed 100 years to accept that idea.
