As for those who say that the universe must be millions/billions of years old or we would not see the very distant stars, I would say that God created them with their light already reaching the earth. Genesis says:
Sorry but this line of argument doesn’t work. A variation of Olbers’ paradox refutes it.
If the light had been created to already reach the Earth, this is an equivalent situation of an infinitely old static universe where there has been ‘enough time’ for the light of every star to reach the Earth.
A thin spherical shell of radius r and thickness dr around the Earth contains 4πr²ndr stars.
The flux from a star in this shell is L/4πr².
Contribution of the shell to the sky brightness is.
For all concentric shells extending out to infinity integrate over all distances.
This is Olbers’ paradox the night sky becomes infinitely bright.
In your case however the universe isn’t infinitely large let’s say around 6000 light years diameter.
The equation becomes
Where R is the radius of the universe which in this case is 3000 light years, <L> is the mean stellar luminosity and n is the stellar number density.
Here we can use some real data, the most common and dimmest stars are type M stars which have a number density n ≈ 0.004 stars/(light year) and a mean stellar luminosity <L> ≈ 0.5Lₒ where Lₒ is the luminosity of the Sun and equals 3.828 x 10²⁶ W.
I = (0.004 x 0.5 x 3.828 x 10²⁶ x 3000)/(9.461 x 10¹⁵)² ≈ 2.6 x 10⁻⁵ W m⁻².
This is the brightness of the night sky according to your account.
By comparison the night sky free of moon light and light pollution is around I = 2 x 10⁻⁷ W m⁻² which is around 100X fainter.
The physical evidence therefore destroys the idea the Earth was created along with star light having already reached it.
