Quite a good portion of the night sky has long died.
We are basically seeing a snapshot of how things were millions/billions of years ago due to the speed of light limit...
So much for 'wish upon a star'!
The beauty of it is, we can still wish on any star that's still visible because if it were dead the radiation would be gone like a light bulb. Look at it this way, light travels at a limited speed, but we're not talking about light traveling. We're talking about photons being cut off from their source. They don't travel back to the source, so they don't take the same amount of time to disappear as they took to get here.. They're just no longer visible.
This does not preclude the idea that the photons are dispersed or absorbed.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
