When stars collide or just go on a joyride

June 10, 2020

Ain’t it nice when stars collide?
Yeah, usually that expression, when stars collide, brings on visions of falling in love. But what about when actual stars crash into each other? It’s all bliss and fun till somebody gets hurt. Right?  

Fortunately it’s a rare event when stars collide.
So rare that scientists had never seen it happen until recently. At least that’s what I found in one article. But you sort of have to take that article with a shaker of salt. Because they included a video with words. And they told a fairy tale that started out with “About 130 million years ago, two neutron stars, in a nearby galaxy, were spiraling toward each other.” So, it’s virtually impossible to take anything else they say seriously.
And that’s not all to the fairy tale. It continued with “As they did, they distorted space and time, making ripples in the fabric of spacetime.” No, I’m not making this up. They already did that. Yeah, it’s a made up theory. Because there’s no way to distort time. It’s not material. And it’s certainly not fabric.
But I’m not a scientist. And I’ve never played one on TV. I’m just a singer and a writer and an entrepreneur.
So, maybe you should totally disregard what I say about deep scientific matters.
But what if I told you this? In our galaxy, “about 60% of all stars are grouped in closely spaced pairs called binaries.” And what if I told you “these fast binary stars did not evolve from larger stars, because larger stars orbiting so closely would collide.” I bet you’d look at that information and say something like…
“If two stars cannot evolve into a condition that has them orbiting each other every 11 minutes, one wonders whether stars evolve at all.”
And I’d have to agree with you.
But I know my Christian worldview means I’m biased against science. Right?
Wrong.
I’m biased against bogus science. The kind of science that starts out each of its fairy tales with “millions of years ago.” Or something like that. Yeah, that rubbish is so debunked. So twentieth century.
But if you wanna believe in evolution fairy tales,
Then you should get yourself a job in telemarketing sales.
Because you could earn so much you could fill a black hole.
But you could gain the whole wide world and lose your soul.
Stay tuned,
