I do think there is something to the Gap Theory. That explains the presence of t-rex and the other mega-sauruses before man came along. There is also the “Apparent Age” theory that postulates the earth only appears to be billions of years old but was actually created looking that way. What does a brand-new baby rock look like? Also, Adam was created as a grown man already, not a baby.
So, stars that are five to ten million light years away, only appear so? We need to rewrite the laws of physics, in that case.
