Oh I can say that God exists not only in my life experiences but by everything that is written in the Bible as actually being the Word of God. OK, let's start again when God made all things for before that there was nothing relating to our universe and beyond and science has come to that conclusion. There was a beginning. Until He made the sun, moon and stars it was Himself that lit everything so when He made these things they shed light and as He spread them out over the heavens that light never wavered or went out and if it never went out its speed didn't matter because it was doing what God made it for. Calcuating today the distance we are from these objects may well be correct but only if their lights had been switched off and at some other point on again meaning that light had to start all over again which it didn't. So why are they so important to mankind? Well just as man once tried to build himself up into heaven, just so man now wants to build himself onto other planets meaning that these distances are important in that quest.

Today there are many other PhD scientists who reject evolution and believe that God created in six days, a few thousand years ago, just as recorded in Scripture. Russ Humphreys, a PhD physicist, has developed (among many other things) a model to compute the present strength of planetary magnetic fields,5 which enabled him to accurately predict the field strengths of the outer planets. Did a belief in the Bible hinder his research? Not at all. On the contrary, Dr. Humphreys was able to make these predictions precisely because he started from the principles of Scripture. John Baumgardner, a PhD geophysicist and biblical creationist, has a sophisticated computer model of catastrophic plate tectonics, which was reported in the journal Nature; the assumptions for this model are based on the global flood recorded in Genesis. Additionally, think of all the people who have benefited from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The MRI scanner was developed by the creationist Dr. Raymond Damadian.6

Consider the biblical creationists Georgia Purdom and Andrew Snelling (both authors in this book), who work in molecular genetics and geology, respectively. They certainly understand their fields, and yet are convinced that they do not support evolutionary biology and geology.7 On the contrary, they confirm biblical creation.
I have a PhD from a secular university and have done extensive research in solar astrophysics. In my PhD research, I made a number of discoveries about the nature of near-surface solar flows, including the detection of a never-before-seen polar alignment of supergranules, as well as patterns indicative of giant overturning cells. Was I hindered in my research by the conviction that the early chapters of Genesis are literally true? No, it’s just the reverse. It is because a logical God created and ordered the universe that I, and other creationists, expect to be able to understand aspects of that universe through logic, careful observation, and experimentation.

So, there are many scientists who believe the Bible's explanation for creation so this little guy who has only experience to stand on is not that surprised by that. One doesn't have to be educated to the highest standard to have found God and His Saviour Jesus Christ. It could well be that these Iron Age goatherders had more skill than you after all you may well be insulting one of your own ancestors.
