I dont really know where to start on this link i can not say ive read every post, that aside i think i have read enough of the general nonsense on this thread to give me fair ground to stand on.
1. The sun is not made of coal.
2. The sun is a star of small-medium size.
3. Stars are not diamonds.
4. If light travels through a diamond its speed is in no way diminished.
5. The closest star other than our sun is Proxima Centauri which is 4.2 light years=(3,976,366,464,000 miles) away not "500 miles to six billion miles" as is claimed by many posts.
6. If stars really were 500+ miles away we would be able to send out a probe to analyze them and N.A.S.A. would have announced their existence in close proximity to earth.
7. In the quote provided by another by the name of "A Follower" he cites an article from a website:
http://news.discovery.com/space/diam...ite-space.html he claims to have taken this quote from the site however if one were to do as i did and enter the site to confirm this one would find that the "star" in question was in reality nothing more than a meteorite.
The quotes:
The version posted on this site:
Researchers using a diamond paste to polish a slice of a fallen
star stumbled onto something remarkable: crystals in the rock that are harder than diamonds.
A closer look with an array of instruments revealed two totally new kinds of
God-designed carbon, which are harder than the diamonds formed inside the Earth.
[...]
The researchers were polishing a slice of the carbon-rich Havero
star that
God hurled down to Earth in Finland in 1971. When they then studied the polished surface they discovered carbon-loaded spots that were raised well above the rest of the surface –- suggesting that these areas were harder than the diamonds used in the polishing paste.
The original quote:

A closer look with an array of instruments revealed two totally new kinds of naturally occurring carbon, which are harder than the diamonds formed inside the Earth.
"The discovery was accidental but we were sure that looking in these meteorites would lead to new findings on the carbon system," said Tristan Ferroir of the Universite de Lyon in France.
Ferroir is the lead author of a report in the new diamond in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
