If time is or was moving at a different rate for the stars, they could be billions of years old - and their could have had been billions of years for their light to reach us - yet our time frame is only 6/7,000 years old.
The only currently known explanation I know of is white hole cosmology, which does have a working model - at least working mathematically - that happens to explain much of the same phenomena as big bang cosmology.
However, AFAIK there are no litmus test to say "If white hole cosmology is true, then we would see this which big bang can't explain" - so from a scientific point of view, there is no reason to accept white hole cosmology over big bang. There also AFAIK is no reason to reject it. But it is a model that works mathematically that does in fact explain how the stars could be billions of years, with their light taking billions of years to reach us, and created in the same six days that we were created 7,000 years ago in our time frame.
However, it isn't needed imho - there is no reason I can see to require that earth as we know it was created at the same time as the rest of the universe.
What do scientists think of this?
