I'm not sure the bible mentions anything about sceptics at that point in the story.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I just want to add I was being sarcastic at that point but I was serious about not knowing why God did it.

Listen, this isn't just me being presumptuous here. The bible is the sole source of the genesis creation account, so if you're getting your information from the objective source of the story then there is a relatively short amount of text from which to draw your evidence from, and it's a passage of text that I've read myself too. The fact that you're happy to just disregard the notion of evidence when the only evidence you'd need is a bible passage means that you're making things up. There are no bible verses that indicate what you claim, you're apparently unable to find one, and you sure as hell don't know any more about the creation account than what's in the bible.
Hence, you're fabricating. Whether you believe what you're saying or not, it's not factually based, and is therefore a fantasy that you have concocted or accepted from elsewhere. Sorry if that notion makes you uncomfortable, but it is inescapable.

Well, we seem to have drifted into the same area where Hovind (iirc), when asked why "God" created so many stars and galaxies so very far away, answered that it was to give us something pretty to look at once we invented telescopes.
At least we've got to "I don't know", which is what I said before this strange detour. It's an honest response and you earn my respect for it.

As I said before I don't make things up. When cofronted with the question about the amount of stars, I believe it is just a display of God's power and ability.

How am I supposed to get more information about the creation story without looking at the creation story.

I specifically asked you to look at the creation story and provide biblical reference, and you said you couldn't.

Well of course you're making things up. You've already speculated that this mysterious godlight is some sort of scientifically-generated artificial light, based on nothing more than that well-known physics equation "let there be light".

Yeah, I asked for that as well.
