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

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.

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,

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?

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

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.

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

The answer to your question is simple: God will make it happen. End of story. If you doubt God's power, take it up with Him.

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

Oh boy... ok first off, just one question, is this a real site?

second, while most of this may have been acepted in the 1400's, you guys are going to have a hard time convincing people of this... Being that we don't fall off the earth or see any floating diamons in space. Most of this is just speculation( AKA guessing) and is kind of disproved (AKA uhhh is shown to be not a fact) by the fact that most telescopes (made by in the 1608 Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen) today are powerfull anough to see jupiter at least and those are the ones you can buy at wal-mart. Just as a side note, not all stars in the sky are silvery, some are blue yellow and red (though you might not see them the same because I might just have realy good vision). Building on those before me, your probibly already saying blastfimur (did I spell that right?) but bare with me you've seen nothing yet, we can say for sure that they are not diamons because diamons refract light and not reflect it. Heres a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond (now I know you hate wikipedia but these people try thier hardest to keep their site as acurate as possible.) read through that then read through these please and keep an open mind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star , http://nineplanets.org/sol.html , http://msnucleus.org/membership/html...5/uce5_1a.html . Now keep in mind science (true science) is done though observations, Hypothesises and disproving those hypothesis( or trying to) and coming up with another. basicly its that we look at something and wright down all that we (for lack of a better term) observe than we make a guess on those obsevations and put that theory to the test. (sigh) most that probibly went over you head, if it didn't than congrates, but I'm trying my best here. through these tests, astronimers( guys who get payed to look through a telescope and have graduated from schools like harverd or yale and are really, REALLY good at math) can determane the size of planet/stars and how far away they are. At this point I'm probibly already banned but what the... right sorry... Next up on my agenda is that the sun is not made of coal. Even if you believe that the earth is only 7,000 years old( I just want you your opinion on the fossil record and radiometric dating (sigh...right) judging how old something is by the... radiationit gives off) coal of any size would not burn that long, especally since there is no anough oxygen in space( go out there and try to inhale I dare you, you would have have 10 seconds of concuseness (proven fact)). Lastly is that we are not the center of the universe. Now I have no way of convincing you about this because it would take to long and my fingers are getting tiered so watch a discovery program or something.

Now before you say That I am ripping on your... ummm how to say this repectfully... deity??... I didn't say any thing about him. I'm just stating facts from: school, TV, Internet, real scientists, and history. This leaves the rest up to you. go out there crack a textbook or something and try to keep an open mind. Ask these scientist directly about thier opinion and see what others know. Whike ingnorence is bliss, it can be fatile.

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

Being that we don't fall off the earth or see any floating diamons in space.

Scientists would disagree with you. However they have the size and the distance completely wrong. THIS news story shows that scientist DO believe that there are large diamonds in space.

Twinkling in the sky is a diamond star of 10 billion trillion trillion carats, astronomers have discovered. The cosmic diamond is a chunk of crystallised carbon, 4,000 km across, some 50 light-years from the Earth in the constellation Centaurus.
It's the compressed heart of an old star that was once bright like our Sun but has since faded and shrunk.
Astronomers have decided to call the star "Lucy" after the Beatles song, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Just as a side note, not all stars in the sky are silvery, some are blue yellow and red

Actually you may have a point here. Possibly some of the stars that are distinctly red such as Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) could by rubies?
Interesting thought.

(though you might not see them the same because I might just have realy good vision).

Proverbs 17:24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

i am a christian and go to church three times a week first i might say that when you bash on jewish people its repulsive our savior was jewish. I know that you will probably say something like the jews killed jesus but still mistakes happen. second i will say that you definettely should have taken more science. These theories that have been stated are not only absurd but ludicrous if you will. your evidence is eighth grade science and is a sad excuse for acctual science if the stars were indeed diamonds they would have to have a diameter of 500ft and only be 20 miles from our outer surface to even be noticable you sur are the one with the crack pot theries

Jesus Himself has told us,

Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.



If you are a Christian I assume that you don't think Jesus was mistaken do you?


Since we know that the stars are going to fall to Earth which desciption is more feasible? Stars made from diamonds relatively close to the Earth or giant balls or burning gas millions of miles across that are millions of light years away?
