1:16 And 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.

On the usual grounds that people believe that the bible is true.
It's clear looking at these statements that they relate to a primitive understanding of the universe, and could easily have been written by people of that era without intervention of God.
In fact, they are so incomplete that they provide great evidence that they
weren't provided by God. God would have known better.
For example :-
* The stars are also great lights - greater than the moon - and yet the bible presents the moon as a great light but not the stars.
* The earth is created before the sun
