do you not find the irony in telling me space is far far to big for us to comprehend and at the same time giving me a 1 death per 50 year spiel? also i wasnt comparing stars life and deaths to humans. I used humans as a statistical example. Given that there are vastly more stars than humans, and we extinguish at a fast rate, that with BILLIONS of stars, its only logical to assume they wink out of existence as a STATISTICALLY SIMILAR rate.

im lost to these explanations. I feel like your minimalising the cosmos. Billions upon billions of stars. That is EASILY enough stars to have a star wink out of existence per second for as long as the universe exists. My reasoning.. in THIS world, a person dies every second or few seconds or 8 seconds.. the point, is that with the pool of our human race, 7billion? we have a death per second or so. BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of stars.. EVEN if .05% of stars supernova'ed, that should be enough to have one wink out of existence per second for the rest of existence..

if a stars life is a billion years or 10 years, it matters not.. after the first initial life span of a star happens, there after stars should explode per second.. thats going to be part of the billions of billions of stars, that needs to be explained. They in no way CAN be rare. matter of principle

i have very little knowledge of these things so i wanted to ask the community a couple of questions that have been bothering me lately. first question. If there are billions upon billions of stars, why when i look up at the sky, I do not see a star exploding by the second or minute? Billions of stars would mean that thousands of stars are exploding per day every day right? Why do we never see this happening? Why in my 29 years of life, have we not had a star that has blown up remotely close to and just extinguish our lives? To me this would make sense given the fact there are countless stars. Given all the stars, there HAS to be a star close to us about to explode even before im done writing this. Some of these stars are Gigantic, so big its hard to fathom.. Wouldnt even 1 of these big momma's exploding be messing with us?

is not the notion of being the religious is to preach the word, and love god and love thy neighbor? is not food pantries and charity hospitals one of this worlds BEST ways to show love to thy neighbor? i think its completely acceptable for the non-religious to go to these things.. seeing it otherwise is arrogance and ignorance on the flip side, when you start your car and drive to work, your really relying on engineering and math to get you to your point of interest. i would say if you were a true believer, "faith of a mustard seed so the speak" you could walk on water, move mountains, all the "if you were as complete as you should be" ideas here. so to me what your trying to do is exactly this. You are not complete so you have to live with what the world gave you. And you see that as completely fine. I see it as irony. tbh, you should be WAY more devout. Follow the bible to the T. Not I will follow this and I will follow that, "if it fits into my everyday comings and going". If you are to use the tools of the sinners or the heathens, or any amount of scientists that create things, be that advancements or what, and they are openly atheist, or partake in their reindeer games, I am sure the allmighty all powerful god that doesn't exist would say sorry kid, you got intoxicated with their perfume.

I was just under the assumption that if you were going to choose a side say religion, and preach their word but use the tools of the sinners its just too much irony to bear.. now i know there are religious scientists but i view those people as fence sitters that claim to be on 1 side. I do not think in the biblical context you can have your cake and eat it too.

I was dating further back to the origins in 1870's with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emile_Berliner

One thing has been bothering me lately. I seen a video of this old african man standing under a tabernacle using a microphone screaming how the white man as brought nothing but torture and sin to the black people. My very first thought was, but he is using the tools created by the white man to preach his hate about the white man. I seen nothing but Irony. I try and apply this same logic to Christians, modern day Christians or not. Should they enjoy the benefits of automobile transportation, medicines or anything that had to use math and science to further its progression My argument is should the religious use anything that was made with science?
