Can the light year distance of a star determine the age of the earth?
The age of 6000 years propagated by a few Christians is actually a mix of two problems: first of all, it takes a rough biblical pedigree as granted and fills the holes with assumptions. Next, it does a critical translation error. The Babylonians, during the time of Moses, did not have a solar calender yet, they used lunar calendars and counted months instead of solar years. So, until a point, the age of the people was not around 900 years (like in some wrong bible translations), but actually 900 months – about 75 years. A biblical age at that time. This counting of age changed one point at the bible (don’t ask me which exactly, the scientists of the Vatican know that well, but these people also don’t claim that the world is only 6000 years old.), and so, the age of the world is around 2000 to 3000 years only, according to such calculations. But also, the light year distance does not give you an accurate age of the Earth or the Universe. Physics are not that simple. The best way to find
