I'm not even picking through for the really strange ones. Chris was telling us earlier that Christians were definitely not anti-science. I'm sure that's something they say in church or bible school.
This site is the Creation SuperLibrary. I go here for my Astronomy facts. Let's go see what I can learn at the astronomy library...

What Christians should learn from the Galileo problem:
The lesson to be learned from Galileo, it appears, is not that the Church held too tightly to biblical truths; but rather that it did not hold tightly enough. It allowed Greek philosophy to influence its theology and held to tradition rather than to the teachings of the Bible. We must hold strongly to Biblical doctrine which has been achieved through sure methods of exegesis. We must never be satisfied with dogmas built upon philosophic traditions.
Here's a wonderful explanation of God's deliberate plan which includes light "en route" to give Adam immediate starlight. Again, delusions run deep. But they don't accept this theory (that isn't scientific enough). No, this is the straw man "wrong" explanation. Later, they explain, in the past light was faster. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. Occam's razor is duller than heck with these guys:

Perhaps the most commonly used explanation is that God created light "on it's way," so that Adam could see the stars immediately without having to wait years for the light from even the closest ones to reach the earth. While we should not limit the power of God, this has some rather immense difficulties.
It would mean that whenever we look at the behavior of a very distant object, what we see happening never happened at all. For instance, say we see an object a million light-years away which appears to be rotating; that is, the light we receive in our telescopes carries this information "recording" this behavior. However, according to this explanation, the light we are now receiving did not come from the star, but was created "en route," so to speak.
This would mean that for a 10,000-year-old universe, that anything we see happening beyond about 10,000 light-years away is actually part of a gigantic picture show of things that have not actually happened, showing us objects which may not even exist.
