Science and philosophy are two different subjects. Science studies HOW we live (physical matter) and philosophy studies WHY we live.
"Genesis 1. God creates light and separates light from
darkness, and day from night, on the first day. Yet
he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun
and the stars) until the fourth day
2. God spends one-sixth of his entire creative effort
(the second day) working on a solid firmament.
This strange structure, which God calls heaven, is
intended to separate the higher waters from the
lower waters. This firmament, if it existed, would
have been quite an obstacle to our space program.
3. Plants are made on the third day before there was
a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes
4. "He made the stars also." God spends a day
making light (before making the stars) and
separating light from darkness; then, at the end of
a hard day's work, and almost as an afterthought,
he makes the trillions of stars.
5. "And God set them in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth." Really? Then why
are only a tiny fraction of stars visible from earth?
Under the best conditions, no more than five
thousand stars are visible from earth with the
unaided eye, yet there are hundreds of billions of
stars in our galaxy and a hundred billion or so
galaxies. Yet this verse says that God put the stars
in the firmament "to give light" to the earth.
6. All animals were originally herbivores.
Tapeworms, vampire bats, mosquitoes, and
barracudas -- all were strict vegetarians, as they
were created by God. But, of course, we now
know that there were carnivorous animals millions
of years before humans existed.
7. God makes the animals and parades them before
Adam to see if any would strike his fancy. But
none seem to have what it takes to please him.
(Although he was tempted to go for the sheep.)
After making the animals, God has Adam name
them all. The naming of several million species
must have kept Adam busy for a while."
That's a small quote of the "Absurdities" section of The Skeptic's Annoted Bible. "Absudities"... fits well.

Yes, and that is why they're both inferior to religion, which studies both why we are here, and the laws by which we must live if we do not want God to kill us.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

So what you're basically saying is that without sun and stars, there could be no light?
Even humans can create light, never heard of lightbulbs?

No rockets have ever pierced the firmament, that's another secular lie with NO evidence to support it.
Even the pictures of the moon landing are fake, as was actually revealed not too long ago.
Praise God!

You can grow plants in a basement without any natural light.
As long as you have a light source of some kind.. such as a lightbulb producing the correct kind of light.

There is no evidence that there are "trillions of stars".
The only stars there is are those who are visibly seen on the sky.
And they number, I don't know exactly, 100 or so?

Because those are the only stars that exist, smartass.
Here you start with an assumption, and use your unproven assumption to "disprove" evidence to the contrary of said assumption..
Well done, I can do that too, look:
BAA doesn't exist, and because she doesn't exist, she is not really here.

You can see see thousands of stars on the sky?
No, you can't. Scientists may say they can see that many with a "telescope" but that's lies, and neither would the eye be "unaided" then.
Now, do the stars give light to the earth? Yes, they do.
Thus you cannot disprove that's the reason God created them.

You believe all animals evolved from dead materials, but you find THAT hard to believe?

Yes, but Adam lived for a very long time too:
930years to be exact.
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: But if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
A foolish woman is clamorous: She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
