How is it possible to know that Pleiades is gravitationally linked and Orion is not?
You do realize gravity is the force of attraction between two objects.
You are comparing a constellation i.e. a distant pattern of stars to
a open system of stars called a cluster. A cluster on the other hand is
open and is bound by the gravity of it's members. So of course orion isn't
going to be bound it's a constellation. So what's your point? That it was intelligently
created because it wasn't. You can map out your own constellation without even
really trying.

I mean what are you, AJW, fucking ten years old? Because that's the kind of thinking you're doing.
Fuck.
Easy tiger, you'll give yourself high blood pressure or an aneurysm or something.
As I understand it, an argument from ignorance is asserts that something is true because it has not yet been proven false. This isn't what the Bible is claiming. It is saying that the truth is known and that it has been revealed by God.
