Atheism

[Sneaky Poptart]

Most of those stars are dead to, the light just hasn't reached us yet.

Wrong and correct. Most stars are damn well alive, being only, what...10 Billion years old? Stars can convert hydrogen into helium for 50+ billion years, at proportional rates. The light hasn't reached us, true, but yet again, so false. Light travels at 300K KM/S. In a sense, anything we can see has "reached us" in terms of light energy. But anything we can't see is...well...unimportant, and unknown. Yes there are more stars, but this has no relevance with the big bang, or atheism.

I know after looking on Wiki it was theorized to have happened 13.7 billion years ago. And you guys know there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on the earth.

A damn lot more. Estimated 1,000 BILLION BILLION BILLION TRILLION, if I recall from AP Astronomy correctly.

Scientific Notation:
1 x 10^42

Note that there are only 1 x 10^61 atoms in our dear earth, and around 1 x 10^82 Atoms in the "universe."

Ahh, yes. I read the part that said the Universe sprang into existence around 13.7 billion years ago.
