Astronomers have found evidence of youth in the distant universe. These astronomers, using infrared wavelength photography, have captured images of far-away, distant galaxies in the universe. The images show that these galaxies are extremely developed with complete spiral arms and all of the features of a mature spiral galaxy. However, because of the extreme distance of these far-away galaxies, the light reaching us should be capturing these galaxies in their early stages of evolution and formation of nebular clouds of dust and gas, according to the mainstream, 15 billion year-old universe model. According to mainstream astronomers, these galaxies are billions of light-years away. If a light-year is defined as the distance light travels in a year (about 6 trillion miles), then these images of these distant galaxies are not representing current light but light from several billion years ago when these galaxies were supposedly in their formation stage. The fact that we can observe these galaxies extremely formed at such distances gives strong evidence that these galaxies formed much faster than proposed by mainstream astronomers and within the 6,000-year creationist timescale. If distant galaxies are in similar stages of formation as the nearby ones, then both should be approximately the same age. In other words, if the nearby galaxies have been spiraling for 15 billion years, their shape should be fuzzy and faint. However, these galaxies are instead just as distinct and defined as the distant and younger galaxies. In addition, how did the distant galaxies form their spirals so quickly if they are being viewed at a much younger age? The only reasonable analysis is that both are young and within the 6,000 year time scale.
