At least we've got to "I don't know", which is what I said before this strange detour. It's an honest response and you earn my respect for it.
As I said before I don't make things up. When cofronted with the question about the amount of stars, I believe it is just a display of God's power and ability.

Listen, this isn't just me being presumptuous here. The bible is the sole source of the genesis creation account, so if you're getting your information from the objective source of the story then there is a relatively short amount of text from which to draw your evidence from, and it's a passage of text that I've read myself too. The fact that you're happy to just disregard the notion of evidence when the only evidence you'd need is a bible passage means that you're making things up. There are no bible verses that indicate what you claim, you're apparently unable to find one, and you sure as hell don't know any more about the creation account than what's in the bible.
Hence, you're fabricating. Whether you believe what you're saying or not, it's not factually based, and is therefore a fantasy that you have concocted or accepted from elsewhere. Sorry if that notion makes you uncomfortable, but it is inescapable.
How am I supposed to get more information about the creation story without looking at the creation story.
