The idea that it takes millions of years for anything to fossilize is incorrect. Wood has been observed to fossilize in a short time.

Starlight and Time: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe by Russell Humphreys, an accomplished physicist, develops a theory of how we could be seeing distant starlight in a young universe.

Why do we find every dinosaur bone as mineralized and not bone, and yet we find just about every modern mammalian mega fauna as actual bone? Fossilized wood doesn't answer the question.

Starlight denoting an old star from one hundred million light years distant would be denoting a position where no star had ever been within the ‘actual’ six thousand years that you will accept as the age of the universe. Thus this beam of light would LOOK like it was from a star, but no star was ever there. Does your god lie. The God I worship doesn't lie.
