Re: Are Stars Actually Giant Diamonds? Science and Math Confirms

You can see large objects from a greater distance than you can see small objects, and you can see bright objects from a greater distance than dim objects. This means that there are two views that you can take on the issue:

1) The stars are small, not very bright, and very close
2) The stars are extremely large, extremely bright, and extremely far away

Both would make the stars look as they do now.

More lies. The Bible clearly says that the stars will fall to the earth at the end times. How can they be that big if they will all fall?

Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Mark 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

Or really big.

Oh yes thank you for correcting me.

If you can see these things just with binoculars that is more evidence that they are not very far away or really big.

Re: Are Stars Actually Giant Diamonds? Science and Math Confirms

Hello, Mr. Smith. Insulting? Well, of course it's insulting when someone points out how ridiculous another person is being. A lot of people don't like it when other people do it, but it needs to be done.

You are the one who is being passive aggressive instead of actually stating your opposition in plain language.

Excuse me? Here, let me show you my opposition.

The stars are used for what it stated in the Bible but also common knowledge. If you had any ounce of intelligence, you would know that stars are not diamonds. Diamonds are inside of the Earth's mantle under very high temperatures and pressures. They are made of Carbon. Stars, on the other hand, is a massive, luminous ball of plasma that is kept together by gravity. The only reason it shines is because of the Hydrogen in it. Those are two different things. I don't know if I can make it anymore simpler for you to understand. A diamond is hard. A star is gas.

It is NOT a likely choice. A star is the same as the sun. Our Sun is a star in fact. They only look different because not only are they far away, but they are different types of balls of gas, just like our Sun. To say that the stars are diamonds, is to say as if the planets beside us, which you can see with a telescope or binoculars on certain nights, are bowling balls. Now do you see how ridiculous that sounds? It sounds just as ridiculous as saying stars are diamonds.

Is that plain language enough for you? I'm actually not sure what entirely you mean by "plain language". I use English. What do you use?

And I do agree. I am passive. I feel not the need to be aggressive at all with anyone. We are all children of God, Mr. Smyth. We are on the same side. I think you just perceive things completely different than I do.

I claim some moral high ground? Where? Where do I claim this? Please show me where I claim some moral high ground.

Now, I only said that everyone throws out insults so freely. Like Cranky Old Man, has called me a "horny skunk". Do you know what insults are? I'm talking about those. Have I called anyone some horrific name other than being ridiculous? I know I told Mr. Osborne in my first reply that if he had any bit of intelligence in him that he would know that stars and diamonds were not the same. But other than that, I have been nothing but kind.

Of course this is all laughable. Do I not find outrageous replies and reactions amusing to something that can actually remain civil? Yes. I'm sorry if you find me laughing at your claims insulting. Perhaps if we discuss it, I will not find it so laughable and I'll apologize then. But for right now, it is laughable.

Let's get moving on with a few of your next points.

I have opened a Holy Bible before. You may not think so. But I have. And God knows I have.

That was in response to this question here.

You clearly never opened a Holy Bible otherwise you would not be here spewing your nonsense around like a horny skunk.

Now. My response, which is the first one about me opening a Holy Bible, does not anywhere insinuate about the point you made. You know, number C. So that can be dropped.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea where I used God's name in vain. If I have, I apologize, but I don't believe I have. Please show me.

Thinking stars are diamonds, Mr. Smyth, is nonsense.

I've already made F clear somewhere above in this reply.

G makes me laugh though. I think you read it wrong, sir.

I have to say that I love how everyone throws around insults. Some are quiet creative and others are just boring old ones like broad.

You do realize that I mean that the insult word "broad" is boring. It's actually not pertaining to anyone.

I'm sorry if you took my manners in a condescending way. I've been raised to call people ma'am and sir, and I do it out of complete respect. I do not mean it in a condescending way. It's just easier to call you "sir" than "Mr. Smyth".

I posted an incomplete sentence? Where?

Alright, I took an objective look at myself. I believe you still have faulty thoughts.

ny perceived faults we may have (which we don't).

I really like what you said there, Mr. Smyth. You don't have any faults? Aren't you human?

[Zechariah Smyth]

Re: Are Stars Actually Giant Diamonds? Science and Math Confirms

I have to say, out of everyone I've seen here, you make me laugh. If you claim to know why God does the things He does, then I believe you would find this topic quite laughable. I have opened a Holy Bible before. You may not think so. But I have. And God knows I have.

If anyone has nonsense here, it's the man who created this topic about stars being diamonds.

I have to say that I love how everyone throws around insults. Some are quiet creative and others are just boring old ones like broad. I think the best thing is that I have yet to call you or anyone else for that matter anything insulting. It's because I don't need insults to make a point, sir.

Any other colorful names you would like to call me?

Friend, you are being insulting by denigrating the Word of God. You are being insulting by coming here for the sole purpose of causing grief and consternation to the members of our church, particularly the older ones who don't need that sort of excitement and irritation at this point in their life. You are the one who is being passive aggressive instead of actually stating your opposition in plain language.

You claim some kind of moral high ground, but JUST IN THE POST I QUOTE ABOVE you (a) laugh derisively at someone (twice actually), (b) accuse someone of false claims, (c ) insinuate that opening a Bible indicates some understanding of it (there are people here who have studied the Bible NON-STOP for years), (d) use God's name in vain, (e) libel someone with a "nonsense" accusation, (f) falsely claim you have not been insulting, (g) insult someone's post as "boring" (h) use "sir" in a condescending manner, and (i) post an incomplete sentence.

Take an objective look at yourself, young lady, before presuming to correct any perceived faults we may have (which we don't).

(Matthew 7:3) "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

Yours in Christ,

In all my 50 years on the Internet this must be the most idiotic thing I have ever read.

Of course we know why God does the things He does. That is why we have the Holy Bible! You clearly never opened a Holy Bible otherwise you would not be here spewing your nonsense around like a horny skunk.

Re: Are Stars Actually Giant Diamonds? Science and Math Confirms

And for your little question of, why would God put something so far away? Um, maybe to protect us? Or maybe because he wanted it that way? Maybe he even did that so you could ask that yourself. You will never know.

Re: Are Stars Actually Giant Diamonds? Science and Math Confirms

Genesis1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

I would like to expound on this as some people are confused about the nature of stars. We can gather two conclusions from this verse. 1) Stars are meant to divide day and night and 2) They are meant for time-keeping.

Since stars are clearly stated to be designed for human purpose, it makes no sense that they would be millions of light-years away like scientists claim. If God made stars so we can keep track of time, why seperate them from earth by vast distances? Furthermore, if they were millions of light-years away, that would mean they would have to be very, very big -- even bigger than our own sun. No, that doesn't make sense at all.

Stars are simply lights. But they are not the same as the sun, as scientists say because stars are not yellowish-orange. They are white, silvery, and twinkly. I hypothesize that they are actually celestial diamonds that are reflecting moonlight. That would account for their white-silvery light. They can't be lumps of coal like the sun, otherwise they would be yellow. I think we can agree that diamonds would be the most likely choice.

Are you serious? Yes, God made the stars. The stars are used for what it stated in the Bible but also common knowledge. If you had any ounce of intelligence, you would know that stars are not diamonds. Diamonds are inside of the Earth's mantle under very high temperatures and pressures. They are made of Carbon. Stars, on the other hand, is a massive, luminous ball of plasma that is kept together by gravity. The only reason it shines is because of the Hydrogen in it. Those are two different things. I don't know if I can make it anymore simpler for you to understand. A diamond is hard. A star is gas.

It is NOT a likely choice. A star is the same as the sun. Our Sun is a star in fact. They only look different because not only are they far away, but they are different types of balls of gas, just like our Sun. To say that the stars are diamonds, is to say as if the planets beside us, which you can see with a telescope or binoculars on certain nights, are bowling balls. Now do you see how ridiculous that sounds? It sounds just as ridiculous as saying stars are diamonds. Saying that is something a five year old should be saying, not a grown man.

And for your little question of, why would God put something so far away? Um, maybe to protect us? Or maybe because he wanted it that way? Maybe he even did that so you could ask that yourself. You will never know. And making up ridiculous hypotheses is a waste of time.

One the last note, you can't make it a hypothesis anyway. A hypothesis is something you have to do research on. Something you have to test out. And you can't test it out. So you can only wonder/suggest/hope.

Re: Are Stars Actually Giant Diamonds? Science and Math Confirms

I go outside every evening and look at the Universe through my telescope and I see many things. Some of which are galaxies, planets, moons, etc. All you have to do is look up at night with binoculars to see some of them.

If you can see these things just with binoculars that is more evidence that they are not very far away.

Re: Are Stars Actually Giant Diamonds? Science and Math Confirms

Wow, what a forum of collective ignorance.

Your petty insults don't bother us. We know what your name means, demon.

Yes, stars are massive, many are enormous compared to our relatively small sun, but they are very far away.

Lies. The Bible tells us the truth. Stars are small objects that can fall from the sky to the ground (Isa 34:4,Mt 24:29,Mk 13:24-25,Rev 6:13,Rev 12:4), and once they are on the ground, they can be extinguished by stamping upon them (Dan 8:10).

And the sun isnt made of coal, it is made of hydrogen and helium, a coal fire cannot burn without oxygen, which isnt present in the vacuum of space. the sun is powered by nuclear fission which only requires huge amounts of heat and pressure. furthermore, a coal fire could not produce the amount of heat needed to reach our planet, which is 149,597,900 km from the sun.

This topic has been beaten to death in another thread. In that thread we learned that the sun, earth, moon, and stars are all enclosed in a solid structure called a firmament, and thanks to Boyle's Law we all know that that gases expand to fill whatever container they are in, so the sun is not in an oxygenless vacuum. We also proved, through trigonometry, that the sun is 5494.8 km away, not 149,597,900 km.
