Gen 15:5 God promised Abraham that his seed would be without number to the human mind, just as the stars are.
"Now look toward the heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them", So shall your decendants be"
If the bible were written according to science (which some say) Abrahams descendants would have ended before the fourth generation, because the scientists at that time believed that there were only 4096 stars!
Ptolemy AD 200 ... 1028 stars
John Flamsteed 18 century 3000 stars
1862 with telescopes .... 300,000 stars.
Today .... science says over 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and Abrahams seed are without number (to the human mind) just as are the stars.
Pretty cool huh????
