This paper reviews claims made by Gerald L. Schroeder in relation to the nature of light and the age of the universe. Schroeder suggests that light does not experience time in its reference frame; although he also believes the universe is billions of years old, something young earth creationists cannot accept. But what are we to make of the first consideration? This is discussed in relation to Lorentz time dilation and the well-known twin paradox, and it is noted that information is carried in the traveller's reference frame. This may offer some insight to our understanding of space and distant starlight, although it would need to work alongside other creationist cosmological models. It also seems to set up a dual aspect of our understanding of time: one time dilated, the other one not time dilated, which raises theological questions. Theological reflections are then offered from Saint Augustine and Thomas F. Torrance noting that relativity may allow non-naturalistic views of the universe and so develop understandings more in keeping with a Judeo-Christian perspective. However, some caution is needed when theology is linked too strongly to particular scientific paradigms, as the science may be modified in the future.
