So what? I'm talking about the stars and galaxies that we CAN'T see. Why put them there if your only concern is for people on one particular planet who are so far away they can't even see these things?
Maybe someday we will be able to see them and even travel to them?
Quote:But, beyond that God created the physical universe and the laws that make it up.
Complete unsubstantiated hooey.
Where did the laws of the universe come from?
Quote: We need these laws and material to exsist.
No we don't! "God" can do anything! He could easily make it so we could exist without these laws and materials. Right?
The fact is we actually do need these laws. Could God have created the universe in a compeletly different way? Absolutely.
Quote: God first created "star stuff" so that he could form our galaxy, planet, and us from that material.
So what did he do? Buy a cosmic Play-Doh kit?
Pretty much, except he created it.
The Bible was meant to be read in context, as a whole narrative, not in fragments.
