It's like saying that when you see a dead body with a sawed-off head nobody knows whether that body was born this way or somebody is a psycho who decapitated it.

For the sake if the argument let's allow this body to be an light-hour away from us when it happened.

I think your logic is very weak here.

What I said in no way prevents us from guessing or inferring what could have happened using knowledge known to us. But they are all possibilities, some more likely than others - there is no way of knowing 100% which one of them actually happened without evidence or information in the form of light or radiation.

It has nothing to do with the speed of light though
