I once met a person so offended by this question that he declared it “a secular lie devised by scientists to break out Emunah”. He said that we see everything as it happens and that light takes no time to travel. That was a stupid answer.

The simple answer is that old things don’t necessarily go against creationist beliefs. We believe that God created rocks that look like they’re millions of years old. So too He created stars that look like they’re millions or billions of years old. At the time of B’raishis He created it so that their light was only a few thousand light-years from Earth and now we’re seeing them.
