I try to apply science to what is taught in the scriptures but some times things fall into the supernatural realm and as of now can not be explained I do have hope that science will answer some of the questions that are unanswerable at this time. This is how I see the supernatural it is science so advanced that we are not able to comprehend it. I'm not saying that this is absolute it's the way I see it.
As for the light getting a head start I think whoever told you that meant that God created the light from the stars and held it in place until He created the stars thus all stars were visible to the first peope He created. The universe is a wonderful time piece and I've never seen a time piece that was not made by someone intelligent and then set in motion. No time piece that I know of has ever fell into place and started itself. So why should the universe be any different. It has a creator and He set it in motion.
Science so advanced that... what?
There are a lot of things that we won't understand about the universe. Many properties that it exhibits that we're still struggling to understand. I can thoroughly say that there isn't a resputable scientist alive who can take anything from the bible seriously. Nothing. It already contradicts everything we already know and can't possibly be used to reliably cover the things we currently don't know.
While you may believe there is a 'designer' in the universe, I can most confidently assert that the universe neither has nor needs a designer to have set it in motion and I can definately assert that it wasn't the god of the christian or any other bible that set it in motion.
There's no room for supernaturalism in science any more than mysticism or any of the other faiths you don't believe in; like scientology or pastafarianism.
