Did god speed up the speed of light for a few days? If most creationists believe the world was created relatvively recently ~6000 years ago, how did the light from stars reach earth?

Most visible stars in the night sky are less then 3000 light years away which goes in creationists favor, but what about those stars and galaxies more then 6000 light years away, how are these visible with telescopes? Unless god changed the laws of physics from their current values, how are these visible?

Please edit your post to remove the comments not relevant to your topic, namely the second sentence.

Then please expand your first sentence to make more clear why this represents a problem for the creationist viewpoint.
