Initially, my post was meant as humor, but there is a grain of truth to it as well.

Many alleged Christians disparage science, in the manner of your ridiculing the assertions of the article. You should be aware that the lesson, "There are none so blind as those who will not see." applies to Christians, as well as Pharisees.

Too many wilfully ignore clear evidence, prefering to assume the truth of ancient writings, over recent sightings.

They are not supposed to conflict. If you find the ways and rules of existence to be in conflict, it is because you are confused about one or the other.

Hence I had said "Big Bang" equals "Let there be Light." No conflict.

Your examination of the distances involved does not give appreciation for the lesson of the Cepheid variables. If you wish to overlay a religious view on scientific data, you must have a clear familiarity with both, or the attempt is a mockery.

Science advances by clear, repeatable, demonstrable analysis. Religious values transmogrify over time to whatever survives. There is often revolution, as well as revelation, in each.

Thank you for your Kind advice.

If you think I am ignorant of these subjects you are mistaken. I may not know every aspect of the studies but I understand the workings of the subjects. I know all to well because I am a builder that know one is infallible, and that these studies are flawed through out. It is assumed that they work correctly because there is no real way to determine if they are wrong. The Cepheid variables do not give any more accuracy to the measurements. The only way to prove the distance is to get out your trusty Stanley 100 light year tape and measure the distance.

Clear evidence to cloudy eyes.

There is no conflict in the rules of existence God created us his rules apply to us all. Evolution could not create morals or else the animals would have a moral code yet they do not. Evolution did not bring us about there are too many variables that can not have happened by pure chance, breathing oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, plants taking in carbon dioxide and expelling oxygen. Two separate organisms with need for each to survive.
