Apoint 5millionlightyears away is impossible to figurewithtrigonometry.Thestars may bethat far away butmodern man has nowayofmeasuringthosegreat distances. No onecan statedefinitivelythedistancetothestars.Several other methods such as luminosity and red shiftareemployed to try to guess atgreaterdistances butallsuchmethods haveserious problems and assumptions involved.For amore complex and slightlydifferentanswerto thestarlightquestion from anotherChristian perspective, see thebook Starlightand TimebyRusselHumphry availablefromwww.icr.org.Second, the speedof light maynotbeaconstant. It does varyin differentmedia (hencetherainbow effect oflightgoingthrough aprism) and mayalso vary in differentplaces inspace.
