"I get it, so everyday could be my birthday?"

Nope but If I had been travelinlg at ten times the speed of light faster than you everday since the day you were born then your birth day might have been only yesterday to me. How long ago was it for you? The same effect could be working in Genesis 1 which is told from an eyewitness point of view. What literally took 7 days from a first person point of view then could appear to have taken millions of years from today's third person removed perspective. Time is relative.

Humans were living in a time bubble where they would experience what appeared to be a 24 hour day, but in actuality millions of years had passed? Far out!

RE :”Nope but If I had been travelinlg at ten times the speed of light faster than you everday since the day you were born then your birth day might have been only yesterday to me.”

That's Special relativity silly not General relativity.

The one you cite can be shown by simple math and the following.

It comes from light being measured as exactly the same speed regardless of the inertial frame of reference, which is different than with the speed of matter which is measured as the speed differences.

Learned that in physics a lifetime ago.

That doesn't help the young Earthers though.

So, you're appealing to General Relativity, but your example is that you're travelling at 10 times the speed of light?
