Literal Six Day Creationist Do not All Agree.
Do you mean like the ones who don’t believe the sun and moon were made on the fourth day like Genesis says?;)

I think I know someone who believes that some stars were destroyed before they were created because it takes that long for the light of a supernova to reach us.

But I couldn’t be sure of what everyone believes. I can’t keep everyone’s ideas straight.

I find it a false argument to say that because light from stars, novae, etc. takes so long to reach earth, therefore the earth must be at least as old as the time light would take to reach us from the farthest stars we can see. God's stated purpose for creating sun, moon and stars is stated in Genesis 1:

(Gen 1:14 NKJV) Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
(Gen 1:15) and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.

He didn't add, "But not yet. It will take X million years for the light from some of the stars to reach earth."

I believe that God created the stars with their light already reaching earth.
