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

Hmmm. My 2 cent:

Diamonds mainly refract light, not reflect. Unless light shines on them in a specific angle, almost no light will be reflected.

Now if the diamonds would be placed IN the dome surrounding the world and the light would come from OUTSIDE of the dome, and the diamonds acted like a lense to guide the light towards us... that would be a better guess.


just saying...

And Christ tells us what the light that is being refracted it friend

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

More likely God put the stars only 77,000 miles away so their light only takes a second to get here. Or they could be only 500 miles away as well. That makes sense since it goes along with the sun's distance.

Either way, mathematics prove the stars are between 500 miles and 6 billion miles away. This is hard science, real science, not the crazy beliefs and blind faith of atheist scientists.

Amen, Reverend -- your post is Creation Science at its mind-boggling and God-glorifying best. However, I find it easier to think of the stars being only 500 miles away, as opposed to 77,000 miles (6 billion miles defies logic). 77,000 miles is a terribly long distance to travel in one day, let alone one second!

Now it makes sense stars are made of diamonds, when they explode the earth is showered with these.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Anyone know the light refraction of a diamond? If we knew that we could calculate how far the stars are from earth.

Now this is what science is about, drawing conclusions from sound observations and no wild speculation.

we use parallax to determine the distance of the closer stars to earth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax

however, at 1+ billion light years, we cannot measure the angular shift differential to compute the distance accurately. so we have to use other methods to determine the distance beyond that.

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

Good work, Brother Jim. I always wondered how a star could be small enough that Jesus could hold seven of them in one hand (Rev 1:16, Rev 1:20, Rev 2:1), yet shine so brilliantly in the night sky, and being expertly cut flawless diamonds makes perfect sense.

Of course, now that this news has been broken, I'm certain that the Joos who run the diamond cartel will be hiring out the space shuttle to harvest these diamonds, so prepare for the night sky to become less spectacular.

Hey, friend. Welcome to our humble forum.

Anyone can link to a wiki article about parallax and spout of a random factoid about it. Have you ever actually done the measurements yourself and then sat down to do your own calculations? We have.

The sun isn't a lump of burning coal, though. For something carbon-based to burn, it needs fuel, energy, and oxygen. There's no oxygen in space. The sun is mostly hydrogen and helium.

Don't you think that if God is able to make a burning bush that was on fire, but was not consumed by the flames he is also able to solve a little problem like a burning sun? Exodus 3:2 "And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed."

Why you need to follow the entire Bible: 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"

Why it is very important to avoid hell (you are heading straight for it at the moment): Psalm 9:17 "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." Mark 9:43 "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched"

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

Incredible! Reverend Sir that is an absolutely amazing stroke of scientific genius Do you have a book published about these findings? I will buy it in a heartbeat.
I've always wondered about this ever since I heard about a cluster of stars called the jewelery box which twinkles like diamonds in the sky (and after I read the Bible, of course). I have a question though: can these diamond stars be different colours? Atheist scientists say they are different colours because of different gases, which I've always found silly because there's no gravity in space and the gas wouldn't be able to cling to the star anyways. But the jewelery box constellation is many different coloured stars. I had the pleasure of seeing it through a telescope once. Do you get different coloured diamonds?

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

I googled different colored diamonds (that's how we spell it in God's country):

It appears that there are diamonds of various colors. Makes sense to me. Emeralds are like green diamonds. And rubies are like red diamonds.

That is very exciting to hear! Thank you for the link, Sir. This only confirms the Reverend's theory even more.

I have often noticed this cluster, too. It is quite beautiful. Near it there is another cluster called The Coal Sack which contains no stars at all, and therefore appears black. Even the athiests - who are all heathens - know that this is correct. The sky indeed reflects light like a polished mirror, and mirrors were made of metal at the time of Job Job 37:18
The Prophet Jeremiah knew this:
"Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. But the LORD…hath stretched out the heavens" Jeremiah 10:9-12 Whether the sky is made out of metal, as the verb "stretched out" (like metal, to make a plate) suggests, or of molten glass (which is black) it needs to be polished before anything will shine in it. Just like diamonds (a form of carbon, like coal, but shiny), the stars cannot be further away than the sky, which is revealed as a lid. And lids are opaque. That is why we can see the stars. Could the creation scientists confirm this, please - I would not want to intrude my opinion if it were wrong?

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

It is with morbid fascination that I read your posts. Truly like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The sun is made of coal? Stars are diamonds because they twinkle and are 500 miles away? Tell me, does someone remind you guys to breathe? I'm not sure the neurons are present in your brains to support life functions without assistance.

That's even falser than their beliefs.
