TD the reason you are struggling with this is you do not accept a really simple biblical truth...Almighty God!
You are rationalising that science determines that God is limited by time and space...he cannot go outside of science.
That is a false assumption.
I agree with you in that God created Science, he create the laws of science, however what you continue to completely ignore is that God made Adam and Eve fully grown adults and trees in the Garden were fully grown and producing fruit. (The significance of the fruit producing trees is that these were spoken into existence!)
You keep trying to place limits on God's ability to manipulate our measurements using light. That is a false assumption.
So let me put this a less objectionable and more logical way to you...a way that is more discussable. Lets consider this article by BBC
The-real-reasons-nothing-can-ever-go-faster-than-light
If God as you appear to be saying, is bound by the laws of science and cannot go outside those laws...
Christians often talk about where Jesus may come from at his second coming. One theory is that it will be through the constellation of Orion (approx 1344 light years from earth).
Now just for the purposes of illustrating a point because no one knows where heaven really is (however clearly it is not close to us)...
If Orion was where God comes through/from, and its 1300 lights years away could you please explain the following statement in Daniel Ch9
20While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and that of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—
21while I was still praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.
22He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel,
I have come now to give you insight and understanding. 23At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious.
How is it possible that God was able to send an angel from heaven to earth (from example through Orion which is 1300 light years away) to answer Daniels question whilst he was yet still praying about it? Does this mean angels and God can travel faster than the speed of light...a feat that science categorically claims is impossible because of science being based entirely on Einstein's theory of relativity?
How does one resolve that dilemma?
Do you see now why your pathway here only creates bigger problems for the existence of God? I have explained this to you before...you simply cannot look at Bible truths from a perspective where you take science first and God second. Whether or not you agree with this or not, you are attempting to place limits on God...that is very dangerous ground.
Take a look at the following Biblical references...
Job 38:
31 Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loosen the belt of Orion?
32Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons
e
or lead out the Bear
f and her cubs?
33Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?
Below is another dilemma your trust of science over God causes...nothing can travel faster than light, so how did Jesus ascend to the Father and get back to the upper room with the disciples again in less than 12 hours?
First he says to Mary in the Garden...do not touch/hold me for i have not yet ascended to the father...
John 20
17“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’ ”
then 8 days later, he appears to doubting Thomas and tells his to do exactly what he told Mary not to do...touch him! Clearly in that 8 day period, Jesus had been to heaven and back (which is proven by the order of the sanctuary service just in case you are doubting he did go to heaven and back)
John 20
26Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
27Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”
We also have Jesus on the same day he rose from the dead eating food...
Luke 24
36While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
37But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.
38“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.
41While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
c 43and He took it and ate it in front of them.
Clearly, God can travel faster than light and he can communicate faster than light. Most Seventh Day Adventists state that God and angels travel at the speed of thought. So i do not have a problem with your light speed time theory. It is 100% a nonissue.
The real question that your theory raises is...
Why in a perfect creation God would allow a catastrophically destructive event such as a supernova happen in the first place!
My answer to this new question is that perhaps
Satans reach is also limited only by thought and sight...it extends far out into our known universe and
is relative to us!
This may very well mean that God and the other worlds talked about in the Bible exist in another dimension we can never see!
Now if God wont let Satan leave this planet to cause the destruction of a Supernova (if it was proven they really do exist), then the only logical conclusion is that Satan is able to influence our perception of the universe around us and since we are unable to phsycally verify an alternative to this, then that is the only belief we can go on and to suggest anything else is doctrine creates unresolvable impasses and contradictions to scripture!
I am sorry you struggle with the concepts I talk about...I am not an apologist, however, questions of where did we come from, why are we here, and where are we going really cannot be answered in the way you are trying to do it. I suggest you read the story of Job...particularly chapters 38 onwards...
God states quite clearly to Job, who are you to question the things you simply cannot possibly understand!
I believe that there are many things in science that we simply will never be able to explain in a manner that is consistent with the Bible because science is limited to current levels of knowledge.
Anything beyond our current level of knowledge (such as a limitless Almighty God) cannot be explained by science!
