Fuck off.

"Suppose it's all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are
confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life. "What
will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?"
"I'd say, bone cancer in children? What's that about?" Fry replied.
"How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery
that is not our fault. It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil."
"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates
a world that is so full of injustice and pain. That's what I would say."

I came across this last night. The relevant portion begins at 18:04.
The volume is low so you'll have to crank it up:
 
"How did the starlight get here in only 6,000 years?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxfblxFPkxc&t=18m4s
 
To sum up succinctly:
 
1) We don't truly know how far away things are. We're guessing.
We're assuming. And there are scientists who indicate the
methods we use to determine distance have never been proven.
2) When God made man he was full grown. God didn't create a
baby that took years to grow, or a fertilized cell that took
nine months to become a baby.
3) Likewise, when God created the Earth there were full-grown
trees already in existence. They didn't have to grow for
scores of years to achieve that stature.
4) Likewise, when God created the Earth and the moon and the
sun and the stars, they were fully formed, in orbit, moving
at the correct speeds, fully mature, etc.
5) None of us were there at creation, and with this other direct
conveyance given in the Bible, and with us being unable to
refute any of it, why would it seem outrageous that God would
have created stars in their relative positions already ready
already to beam their light to our eyes? After all, it says
in scripture:
 
Note: He explicitly put them there for us to see and observe:
 
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and
for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
 
Your religion of naturalism is unprovable, and it has nothing to back
it up except modern beliefs by man, all of which are in flux, ever-
changing, are refuted by direct evidence in historical observation,
and in the more modern sciences of genetics research.

I teach you all of this to get you to think, Leigh. You're in pursuit
of a lie, and that lie will consume your soul unless you rebuke it and
seek the truth.
 
There's enough potentially (from your point of view) riding on this
outcome to warrant legitimate investigation. Either I'm lying to you
and it doesn't matter what I teach because we all just blip out of
existence or whatever, or I'm telling you the truth and your eternal
soul is at stake.
 
In either case, there's enough at stake for you to investigate these
claims for yourself, and with more than your typical casual attitude
of outright stolidity and purposefully ignorant nonchalance.
