Well,what they'll usually say about starlight is that...
A: they're to far away to be mesured and anyone who claims that they can are liars trying to promote the devil's agenda.
Or B: It doesn't matter anyway because God created a mature creation,complete with the light of far away stars allready visible here on earth,fully grown animals and trees and people,programmed with the ability to walk,think,sin,ect.
Of course,when you get into the latter part of the argument,it gets real tricky because it becomes impossible to prove that God didn't create us all 5 minutes ago,complete with memories of past actions,documents,cities,families,ect.
