It has repeatedly been proven that the speed of light is constant at a rate circa 186,000 miles per second.
It is a fact, not a theory.
And if we use the width of our orbit around the sun as a base line, and measure the angle between the sun and a star when we're on one side of our orbit, and again when we are on the other side of our orbit, we can use those two angles to form a triangle. Since we know the size of the baseline, we can use trigonometry to determine the distance to the star.
Trigonometry is a fact, not a theory.
Using this method, we have found stars that are tens of thousands of light-years away from us (a light year is the distance light travels in one year).
If God made the universe 6000 years ago, we wouldn't be able to see these stars as their light would not have had enough time to reach us.
Yet we see the stars.
How do you explain this?
