   We do not know that.

   The stars that we can see today could not form before 380'000 years into the   
   Big Bang.

   Gazillions of "lights": stars.  One would think that someone who calls   
   themselves "The Starmaker" should know what a star is and how it forms.   
   Unless, of course, as we all know and can see, they are just a crackpot/troll.

   The pressure in a gas cloud that cools enough by emitting EM radiation   
   decreases so that parts of it collapses under its own gravitation due to   
   their mass density.  When a gas is compressed, it heats up which means that   
   the energy of its electrons increases.  When they return to their   
   lower-energy state afterwards, the extra energy is released in the form of   
   photons: light is being emitted, and a collapsing ball of gas begins to glow   
   (protostar or brown dwarf).  Also, eventually nuclear fusion sets in,   
   releasing more and brighter light: a star has formed, usually many stars   
   from the same molecular cloud at the same time.

   _distance_, and no.

   Utter nonsense.
