Hi Noma,
There was a minor error in your post that doesn't affect your argument at all, but I want to put the correct information out there:
NOMA&NOPAAKAAN ORPHAN writes:
When God created the stars and the moon and sun etc, according to modern science "we are told that it takes billions of light years for light to travel from the nearest star to earth right?
The nearest star is about 4.5 light years away, and so it takes only about 4.5 years for light to travel to Earth. The nearest galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away, so it takes its light about 2.5 million years to reach Earth. The oldest galaxies we can observe are around 13 billion light years away, so it takes their light about 13 billion years to reach Earth.
