Genesis 1:14-16
BTW
How Many Stars Are There in the Sky?
Though there are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy alone...
Genesis 15:5
It seems God is talking about the number of stars that people believe are there rather than the trillions of stars that are actually there....
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
That is what Adam and Eve might have used the stars for. God doesn't talk about what stars could be used for in a more sophisticated society - such as being able to navigate enormous oceans. Many stars also have their own planets which humans might start colonizing one day...

How Many Stars Are There in the Sky?
There are only about 5,000 stars visible to the naked, average, human eye
Though there are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy alone...
Genesis 15:5
Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”
