I think the belief that God created everything - which is to say the universe - is so grounded in the belief of Judaism, Christianity and Islam that it is ridiculous to argue they ever believed anything different.In scripture certain people are the stars that God created, people who instructed others in the true path of righteousness.
Do you really think that Isaiah is talking about anything else???

Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high
And see who has created these stars,
The One who leads forth their host by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power,
Not one of them is missing.
And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. ~ Daniel 12:3
When Jesus said," I am the light of the world" and "I have not come to bring peace but division."
Was Jesus claiming to be the sun or a star in the night sky?
Take your time....
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; Genesis 1:14
