Light eminated from God's will. Light produces radiation therefore there is no need for a star.
So you admit that observation shows billions of years of decay? Great! You must believe creation is billions of years old.
Is God bound by an earth day?
You speculate about Adam. We have no means of measurement.

Sure.
Light IS radiation; electromagnetic radiation.
I can either believe 'six days,' or something other. I choose the former. So no.
God is unbound by anything.
Of course.
I was making another point about God not being deceitful. God created Adam a full-grown man. He looked just like full-grown men do today. He and Eve alone were not born, but were created full-grown. Like the universe was.

How that helps your view is beyond me. Science gives us the 13+ billion year age, but it does so through a detailed order of events, and it does not align with the order of events recorded in Genesis, so you still have God as a liar. 'Six days' equaling 13 billion years doesn't help your problem with the order of events.

Except the way verse 5 was originally worded leaves no room for anything other than a 24 hour period.
The nice thing about the NKJV is that, apart from it being the closest to the Hebrew manuscripts we have today while still using modern language, is that it also provides (usually as a footnote) the literal translation,
Here's Genesis 1:5, along with the footnote:
God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. - Genesis 1:5 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...5&version=NKJV
Here's YLT:
and God calleth to the light `Day,' and to the darkness He hath called `Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day one. - Genesis 1:5 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...:5&version=YLT
Please, if you can, tell me how the context of that word makes it mean anything other than a literal 24-hour day.
Then why wouldn't He just say "billions of years" instead of insisting, multiple times in scripture, that it was a six day creation, that man was created at the beginning, and not the end or the middle.
Here's the observations that have been made by the young earthers about how young the earth is:

Great. We disagree. The way to examine our competing claims is to look at the evidence. I have provided ideas and evidence. For your assertion, we have your assertion.
Also, the Bible does not uphold your story. You invented it.
There are two sensible positions:
1. The Bible is right when it says "six days."
2. The Bible is not correct.
There's a multitude of senseless assertions that involve mangling scripture.
If people believe the evidence shows billions of years, they should reject the historicity of the Biblical account.
Unfortunately, people aren't prone to sense.

Nah. I believe science when it estimates the age of the universe, I just know that it's the same type of estimate that anybody'd have made about the age of Adam and Eve on day eight---they would have thought 'mid-twenties' or 'late teens' or something like that, but nope: they were only two days old.

Science isn't about belief; it's about testing ideas and throwing them out when they are showed as impossible. If you believe the evidence shows billions of years, you should reject the historicity of the Biblical account of origins.

It's an entertaining way to describe the situation, but it's not scientifically satisfying. Also, it assumes the veracity of a Big Bang cosmology. I think that paradigm is fallible and would hunt for an idea that is consistent with "six days."
As yet, I haven't read anything that robustly deals with the starlight problem. It remains the greatest challenge I know of to the YEC position.

First...the NKJV being closet to the original manuscripts...LOL
Second, length of a day is relative to the object revolving which results in one rotation. There was light in the first "day". What sphere was created on day 1 that we are able to deduce 24 hours?
Day is not meant to be a literal 24 hour earth day. You demand it, but God doesn't demand it. Peter tells us that with God a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. God is not constricted by the limitations you are trying to enforce.
The area we both agree on is that God created. From nothing, God created something. Therefore God is eternal because...ex nihilo, nihilo fit.
