The bible does not say that God created the sun on the 4th day.
The Bible says that He made two great lights on day four. Everything he made on the days is listed in Genesis 1, which pertain to our creation. On day four, He made the stars and the sun and the moon. Gen 1:16 And God made/עשה `asah two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also....Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Of all of the possibilities listed (some of which are irrelevant anyway), most explain explain why light might move slower than light-speed. However, in order for a "young" universe to appear old when looking at distant stars, light would have to move faster. Thus the only interesting part is the last one - a 20 years old hypothesis that currently isn't supported by evidence and in fact would require major changes in physical laws to work.
God did not create by using 'laws' of physics. He spoke, and whatever He said came to be in the six evenings and mornings of creation week -24 hour days.
God made the light on day 1. He stretched out the 'heavens' by dividing the waters from the waters, and the firmament between them is the heaven[s] which he stretched out. The light was already created, and the firmament stretched out contained the light within it which was already created by saying "let there be light", and which was separated from the darkness and called "day", on day 1, an evening and a morning.
Before the sun, moon and stars were made on day 4, the light already was called into being and the heavens were stretched out and the waters were divided from the waters and there are waters above the heavens in which he set the sun, moon, and stars.
The sun and stars are not light sources, but governors of the light source which was created on day 1.
If God chose the process to light things being that waves of light would hit them...why is it not possible that he'd create the waves en route? I guess to me that seems as logical as creating a man/woman that are in appearance at least teenagers.
I've been told that there are a lot of dating methods that point to a young earth. The ones that you hear about are the carbon and radiometric dating methods.
Your scriptures specifically state that Jehovah is done creating things, so the idea that he would create something "en route", meaning creating things now, goes against your scriptures.
Also, the only dating methods that support YEC are guesses and opinions. Scientific dating methods, two of which you list, all point to an earth at least 4 billion years old.

That is Bible truth.
Well, I will say this much, you're a good source for comic relief on this forum.
I think that before you add to the text like this and try to tell people that God made the 'sun" on the 4th day, you should go back and look to see if that is the teaching of the text?
It is not!
Remember, what does the Bible say is the very first thing God made in the beginning?
You cant get the 4th day right if you dont know what God made on the 1st day!...LOL
I'll post it again so that you may try reading it again. It really is not hard to do if you set your mind to it. He "made" the "menorrah's" on day 4, which refract the light which He made on day 1, and which Light was stretched out with the heavens and in which firmament the lights/chandeliers, which He made on day 4 were set, to govern the light and rule the day and the night.
