The properties of stars do not suggest an evolutionary origin;
rather, they reveal the power and majesty of the Lord. Most

form today. Most people are unaware that there are serious
scientific problems with such notions. A careful examination of
the evidence confirms that stars are not billions of years old.
The properties of stars do not suggest an evolutionary origin;

begin by exploring some of the properties of stars and how these
confirm biblical teachings. 1
