With the universe being about 6,000 years old there;s not much time to play with. God added in stars that appear to be of different ages just to fool you infidels.
He was a clever devil...
speaking of clever, what about a devout and dedicated story teller weaving satan into the god story. let god take credit for all the good things that occur. and slyly give satan the blame for all bad things that occurs. that gives god a free walk, with satan being responsible for the god-awful things. clever, huh?
never doubt the ability of a good story teller to spin the tale to his group's perceived advantage.
