Andromeda Galaxy

Not true.

Verse 16, And God made the two great luminaries: the great luminary to rule the day and the lesser luminary to rule the night, and the stars.
By the way, in “he made the stars also” the word “also” is not in italics so it is in the original. You really are grasping for straws in looking for a translation without also.

but Exodus 20:11 and Exodus 31:17 show that the stars were indeed made in the first 6 days. This fact is spoken by God 2x and written by the finger of God 2x
 
Does not say Sun and Moon regarding that day until Jeremiah 31:35.
The sun is mentioned 6x in Genesis and 4x in Exodus

and remember Exodus 20:11 and Exodus 31:17 prove God created the sun, moon and the stars also in the first 6 days about 6000 years ago.
God said it 2x and wrote it 2x

And the phrase “and the stars” must be referring to “God made” else it makes no sense
God made all created things, Genesis 1:1, John 1:3, Colossians 1:16-17.


Young's Literal Version, Genesis 1:16, And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary--and the stars--for the rule of the night;

Exodus 20:11, For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Exodus 31:17, It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

The six days, Genesis 1:3-31.

Still grasping for straws
Lunminary as in light
And still ignoring Exodus 20:11 and Exodus 31:17
Spoken by Gid 2x and written by him 2x

The distances are measured in the distance it takes created light to travel in years.

The Andromeda Galaxy is only measured to be 2.48 million light years away. Now our six Earth days, measured from Adam, assuming no gaps, Adam to Jesus, 6000 plus years ago.

You have to take Genesis 1:16 literally. I mean literally. ". . . And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [ he made ] the stars also. . . ."
Two lights. We know those lights are our Sun and Moon. They became lights on the fourth day. They, the Sun, Moon, day and night with the stars had already been made prior to the fourth day. And even if they, less the day and night, needed to be made on the fourth day, God could have did that on that day as YEC supposed too. God for the distant stars could create their actual distance and their actual eons of time. Hebrews 1:2.

I believe in the literal Genesis account. God has no beginning. Psalms 90:2.
