== The light from other stars and galaxies "problem" ==

Quite simple really. God created the light from the stars as he created the stars themselves. I do not want to second guess our Creator, but it seems absurd for him to make the nearest star but not let adam and eve see it until four years later (the time it takes the light to travel). Was the sky of Eden at night empty except for the moon? No, I believe God created the light from the stars and galaxies, already in transit toward us, so that our appreciation of the splendour of His creation would not have to wait for years or thousands or millions of years.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years,

15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth. And it was so.
