Stellar Distance Theory

In the currently popular model of stellar distance, which states that many of the stars are millions of lightyears away, wouldn't you think that every now and then, as the light of distant stars begins arriving on earth for the first time, that new stars ought to be appearing for the first time?

Shouldn't it be happening that stars which have never been seen before suddenly appear in the night sky, at full brightness, where previously no star has ever been visible? Like lights being turned on.

Or at least, wouldn't you think the Hubbel telescope ought to occassionally be seeing starlight appear where previously there was none?

I wonder if there is any historic record of this happening. I'm not currently aware of any such record.

I certainly haven't personally ever noticed any new stars.

We've heard of new stellar activity being observed - but only in stars that were already visible.

And we've heard of new stars allegedly being discovered - but these weren't cases of new starlight appearing for the first time, rather they were cases of new and stronger telescopes being used, enabling scientists to 'see' light that in fact was already arriving.

But I haven't seen any reports of starlight actually arriving for the first time ever.

Perhaps such reports do exist. I would like to know.

But if no new starlight is arriving on earth, becoming visible for the first time, it invokes a number of questions:

One, it could simply mean that if any such stars exist, they must be so far away from the earth that their light hasn't had time to reach the earth yet but will at some unknown time in the future.

In theory, this should mean that any day now, or at any time in the future, we could see a star or stars suddenly appear in the night sky. And in theory, it means that as time goes by and more and more new starlight reaches the earth, the nightsky should become progressively and measurably brighter.

It still presents another question though. If no new starlight has ever yet appeared, not even from a single new star, it means that any such new stars, if they exist, must be thousands of lightyears away from the nearest visible star. That represents a much bigger space between the stars than anything so far observed. How would you explain the uncharacteristically large space between stars at that place. It doesn't quite fit the scenario of a uniform big bang.

Another possibility is that all the stars might be moving away from the earth, and that the light of all stars is therefore already arriving at the earth.

If that's possible, then the record of the Book of Genesis can also be possible, which states that God made light and that it appeared upon the earth on the very day it was made.

A second question could be about whether there really are any stars so far away that their light hasn't already been arriving at the earth.

Or slightly differently: might all the stars actually be far closer to the earth than is suggested by currently popular theories?

To what extent might the variables in the methods used to calculate stellar distances, effect reliability? The word "guess" is used quite a bit, when such methods are described. You might be surprised how often it is admitted by those describing such methods, that such methods are only theories.
