It is well known that there are people alive today who think that the earth is some thousands of years old; they are known as creationists. Further, or so I am given to understand, there are those amongst them who believe that all was made (including light itself) in six days.
I hope that at least some of them have a look from time to time at the BBC's news pages; today for example in this piece they can see, reproduced, light that is about 13 billion years old.
Sorry and all that, but I'm afraid that creationist or not, one cannot argue with mathematics.
Congratulations to all who have contributed to the magnificent Hubble telescope.
Until the next time
