So, just how old is creation?
We know it is significantly over 13 billion years. We can see fully formed galaxies of stars which are more than 13 billion light years away.
This obviously necessitates that the image we are seeing departed that galaxy 13 billion years ago. Then we must add the time it took for the matter of that region of space to coalesce into stars and start shining. I would have to assume many more billions of years.
Heck, for all we know, every star in that galaxy might have burned out and turned into black holes by this time.
