Atheism and morality

Including the idea that it is infinite?
And are we talking about the concept of space as used in physics or some other concept?

Astronomers are people too. All people are influenced by their
beliefs, even the wacky atheists.
Very true. So when you said "some astronomers believe" you might just have well have said "some wacky people believe". It would not have supported your case any less. The fact remains however that the science of astronomy does not include starlight being created along with stars at the beginning of time. It is after all a self contradictory claim as light that was not emitted by a star is not starlight - by definition.

I suppose there is only one true concept of space and I
would suppose it is no different for God than it is for us.

If the heavens where created from one point in space
and then stretched out like I understand the Holy Bible
to indicate, then light was created with the stars at the
instant they were created. Then if it all started from the
location in the heaven where our sun is located then the
light was already here as each star was created and
the stars moved further and further away form our
solar system at great speeds at first and gradually slowing
down, so that it is at its present speed of expansion.
So that is how some astronomers can reason that the
starlight from the stars was here at the beginning of creation.
