I this were the case, why then would we be able to see second generation stars that are made up of numerous elements rather than just hydrogen?
They probably formed of material that was created in a nova. Like our solar system.
First generation starts are all hydrogen, minus the byproducts of fusion.
The bigger the star (beyond a certain point) the faster it blows up.

One word- Binocular vision
And I’m sticking to that!-
I’m not versed in the hypothesis’ about starlight- but I do know there are several explanations that are perfectly reasonable- you’ll find htem on answersingensis.org- just type starlight in the searhc field- you’ll find links to hte technical explanations of different hypothesis’ put forth
