I agree!
I wouldn't insist that passage be taken literally. *Christians are often guilty of forcing literal interpretations on something which is poetic or allegorical. Others insist that historical passages might be poetic. Most scripture is pretty straight forward though. For example, we can read the gospels as true history, yet understand the parables may not be literal events.*
Anyways.... re that passage in Isaiah, it may be poetic language....it may be the answer to distant starlight. But, both you and I speculate / not science as to how things began.*
I was going to give an example of secular speculation under the guise of science. I Google 'big Bang first instant'. I come up with this gem ..... "If imagining the big bang makes your head ache, what happened an instant later might make it explode. Cosmologists think the just-born universe—a hot, dense soup of matter and energy—went through a burst of expansion faster than the speed of light. Like a magical balloon, the cosmos doubled its size 60 times in a span of 10 to the -32*seconds. This phase, known as inflation, ended well before the universe was even a second old."

That must make even you smile at how non scientific they are in attempting to explain problems such as the light horizon at 92 billion years.*
Dear 6days,
Really Good Post!! Thanks for the link! It is all so complex, but I understand a good part of it. Well, I do know that you feel that the Universe was created in the matter of seconds and so do I. You do believe that, don't you? And the light horizon at 92 billion years. That's very long. Interesting!!
