[1. Meteors are not stars.
2. The craters on earth are made by meteors not stars, a star cannot fall.
3. The varying erosion of craters cannot be caused by one flood event.
4. A global flood is physically impossible.]
I'm not saying your a fool but you incompetently read my posts.
A meteor is just a rock and so is a star when its knocked down to its basics. The flood event , I'm suggesting, had nothing to do with the war between Satan and michael. Since the bible says a third of the stars would fall to earth then the bible thinks its possible. So if its a past event then are there now big holes everywhere that are pre-flood.
Yes.

"Wow, I didn't know that rocks were made of hydrogen and helium."
Edited:
Nitpick - Stars are manufacturer of the heavier elements
Creationist logic: Once the Bible saz so, further thought is not required.
Either way no flood event can create craters in the same fashion a meteor has.
Allow me to beat you. Good point though, if two-thirds of the stars 'crashed' on the Earth, we'd be pretty f**ked up, I imagine. He also disregarded the main point of the previous post though. Douche.
Except a star "falling to earth" would be a nuclear explosion the size of say "the sun"... Infact the hydrogen bomb's fusion reaction is a portion of a star's power.
We wouldn't even have a planet left to live on should one of those hit. Let alone a third...

No, stars are made mostly of hydrogen gas, not rocks. They only make other elements during their death throes.
The minimum size for a star is about 15,000 times the mass of the earth - below that, they can't sustain the nuclear fusion that makes them shine. How credible is it that a third of a sextillion stars could fall to earth?
Revelation is just some nut's stupid fantasy. It wasn't even considered part of the Bible by Martin Luther. Many other early Christians considered it not inspired and argued against its inclusion in the canon.
A star is a burning ball of hydrogen even the smallest of which would make the Earth look like an infinitesimal dot. When the Bible says that the star's will fall to the Earth it could possibly mean meteors as people back then had no way of knowing the difference between a comet and a star. They both look like tiny lights to us. But if it literally means stars, well then that's just no even possible.
Did you know that the sun, while just a medium-sized star, represents 99.8% of the solar system's mass? If the Earth were hit by a star, there wouldn't be a crater. There wouldn't be anything left. Period.
A star could not "fall" to earth, earth would fall to the star, though technically two objects do "fall towards one another, how ever when one is many times more massive than the other, the overall effect is the smaller object falling towards the larger. Please just learn some basic physics.
Excuse my CAPS while I open with:
THE BIBLE ISN'T FUCKIN SCIENCE, YOU SHITWAD!
Now that that's out of my system, I can clear this up with 2 songs by a great band called They Might Be Giants
Song #1 - The sun (a star) is a mass of incandecant gas...
- Title: Why does the Sun Shine?
- Album: Severe Tire Damage
Song #2 - ... a shooting star's a meteor that's heading for a fall... the friction as it falls through air produces heat and light...
- Title: A Shooting Star is Not a Star
- Album unknown

Robert Byers theorises that perhaps 1/3 of the stars fell from the sky IN THE PAST!
Yet if this had happened, the world would be (*quickly multiplies stars in galaxy by number of Galaxies*) - would be a black hole.
Therefore, alas, this theory is as foolish as the flood one.
Robert, listen now. Star big, big, big, hot, hot, hot. Earth tiny, tiny.
"Knocked down to its basics" in what sense? The basics are hydrogen and helium -- anything else is waste product. (Some of which does, eventually, turn into rock. But that's only after the star blows up.)
Ok, trying to get down to Byers level...
Stars - big ball of mostly gas, biiig ball, bigger than planet type ball. One star fall to earth and we're pretty much screwed.
Meteors. Lumps of rock, not gas, not that big compared to earth. Lots of small meteors fall to earth all the time, mostly get burned up in atmosphere.
Savvy?
Obviously, this guy has the wrong idea of what a star IS, exactly.
I mean, according to the movie "Stardust" (which is just as factual as Genesis, mind you), stars are beautiful glowing people who watch Earth like voyeurs, and occasionally they fall from the sky.
Any decent omnipotent deity would certainly have designed them this way. Right?

I’d say ‘incorrectly’ unless he had a professional job to read the post.

No. Down to basics, it’s gas. REALLY hot gas.

The bible thinks the sky is solid, the moon radiates its own light, the Earth is flat, the sun gets the night off.

“a past event then are there now big holes everywhere that are pre-flood.”
And if they all went through the same flood, they’d have the same level of erosion.
Confused?
