Despite anticreationists using the Starlight Problem in arguing against young-Earth creationism, the [[Big Bang Theory]] has its own light travel problem, known as the horizon problem.
    
The Big Bang model proposes that the temperature of the [[Cosmic Microwave Background]] (CMB) would have varied considerably from place to place early in the universe, yet because the speed at which this radiation can disperse from hotter to colder parts of the universe is limited by the speed of light, there has not been enough time for the radiation to even out, yet observations today show it to be extremely uniform.<ref name="Lisle">Lisle, 2003</ref>
