When the author gets into more detail the sun and moon come into focus. We can't assume that the Lord only made the sun and this galaxy. The author simple brought the focus on this galaxy.
Who is the author here? What do you believe the purpose of the Bible is? Why did the author simply bring the focus on this galaxy and the Earth in particular? Do you think the Bible's purpose would have been served by including verses about other stars having planets and the universe containing billions of galaxies?
Millions of Christians believe that the Bible just tells humans that God created everything and science is discovering how he did it. As far as they're concerned, evolution is how he arranged for humans to get here.

All that Genesis says is that the moon provides light at night. It doesn't go into an in depth explanation about how it reflects the sun's light. Why not? Why do you accept that the moon reflects the sun's light when Genesis doesn't provide the details?
You aren't obliged to accept evolution, of course, but you're wasting your time trying to convince atheists that God exists by quoting Young Earth Creation sources. The vast majority of Christians regard Young Earth Creation as rubbish and some of the websites debunking it are run by Christians. Here's another one - Evidence For God -
Scroll down the page and you'll find -
Scriptural rebuttals to young-earth creation science
Scientific rebuttals to the young-earth creation science
Specific Scientific Rebuttals to Young-Earth "Scientific Proofs"
PS: Scroll down to the bottom of the page and read the warning from St Augustine.
