God created a geocentric universe. Genesis declares that there was no light until day 2 =an electric universe came into being.
Genesis declares that the heavens were not stretched out until day 2, and they were stretched out from this globe of water, between the divided waters of creation, and named "two waters- sha-mayim" on the day they were stretched out.
Genesis declares that the sun and moon were not made and set in the stretched out heavens until day 4 of creation week.
and so on and so forth....the revolving heavens as the "circle of the earth" caused evening/night and morning/day, making one day each revolution, from the beginning, on day 1 of creation week.
So the starlight did not come to earth over billions of years, according to the Word of God, but the starlight began right here, and was stretched out with the "firmament" between the divided waters of creation, with half the waters above and half below.
In the Electric Universe, water plays a great part in being a conduit for the electric light of the stars. In the Writings of Enoch the prophet, the seventh from Adam, even, the path of the stars is in the clear waters above the tabernacle of God, which Enoch went into in chapters 14,15.
