If you are a Christian you can read in the Bible that God 'stretched out' the heavens. So our investigation should center around "Wow! How did God do that?" rather than how to figure out starlight traveling for 'hundreds of millions' of years. How in the world can you observe, measure and replicate that in a lab?

Speed of light is a quantifiable provable known, doppler shift as well. We know the stars are very far away and took a very long time for that light to reach us. A much longer time than some faiths will accept as fact.
I have not seen evidence convincing me that a supernatural force created an aged looking universe.

There are *thousands* of religions on this planet. With many varying creation and nature of the universe beliefs.
They all have one thing in common. Faith in unseen supernatural forces.

"a bigname scientist was giving a lecture on astronomy. After the lecture, an elderly lady came up and told the scientist that he had it all wrong. 'The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist asked "And what is the turtle standing on?"
To which the lady triumphantly replied: "You're very clever, young man, but it's no use -- it's turtles all the way down."
