So this leads me to think about time and *any* evidence that there are "things" that could be proven to be older than 10k (or so) years.
I assume the speed of light is a generally accepted known fact. We know if the sun went completely dark, we'd still see its light here on earth for approximately 8 minutes. (Because the light we see here on earth from the sun is approximately 8 minutes "old")
So, I wonder, how would the creationist explain our ability to see light from distant stars, say 1 million light years away?
btw, I've never looked into this before, I'm sure each side has an answer... but this topic got me thinking about it... I'll google in the mean-time. :-)
That’s a great question, and you are quite correct, creation cosmologists most certainly do have an answer. Here’s a good, easy to understand place to start:

While you're at it, you might ask yourself why they're willing to let you believe that it's "off by millions of years", knowing that the half life of C-14 is relatively short and as a result is undetectable in samples over about 60,000 years old. It can't be, and isn't used for dating anything older than that.
