The '''starlight problem''', or '''starlight travel-time problem''' concerns the placement of stars at distances so far from Earth that starlight could not traverse that distance, at its current velocity, in less than the age of the universe.  Yet the light has reached Earth anyway.  This raises a question under any creation-based theory, including the [[Big Bang theory]]: how did this starlight reach Earth so quickly?

This is a major point of interest in the question of an [[Old Earth Creationism | old universe]] vs. [[young earth creationism | young universe]].
    
There is no conflict with the description in Genesis, which says, "let there be light, and there was light."  It doesn't say, "let there be light, and there was darkness that light later reached."
