You can see stars forming in the different nebulae. The dust from the nebulae can be seen swirling to create the stars. This has nothing to do with evolution, though--evolution has to do with the formation of animal life, not stars. And it's hard to claim that evolution is a lie when we have so many skeletons of different animals so similar to each other, some of which have so obviously grown from a common ancestor. You can't tell me that somewhere in the distant past there wasn't a creature that branched off into two species--the elephant and the mammoth.

Stars don't get brighter, at some point they will collapse in which case you won't see it. Most stars we see have already died out. Why does that prove evolution is a lie? The idea of an invisible all powerful being who no one can hear or see is so much more believeable is it?

Just to your question as to whether observations of star formation could be mistaken due to stars just getting brighter. Most of the studies of star formation are done at wavelengths not in the visible spectrum but in the infrared spectrum. Thus, they are not relying on visible light. You should do some astronomy/cosmology reading. I don't know whether there is a God(s) or not but if the answer to that is yes then I think they are consistent with the things we are learning about our world and universe. To continue to cling to the natural explanations of the world written by primitive men is a kind of mental suicide.

I understand where you are coming from, but please don't waste your time trying to contradict science with religion, it just makes you look foolish. Instead try to look for ways to make them work in harmony. Just because you believe in God doesn't mean you understand how the universe works, or how God designed it. Your question really isn't about evolution anyway, but if you go around saying that the world is only 6 thousand years old because that's what you count in the Bible, it destroys your credibility right off the bat. Maybe that is all the time the chronology of the Bible accounts for, but you can't draw from that, that the world hasn't been around much longer. Do you believe that the fossils of long extinct animals are just made up? Do you simply believe that dating techniques are off by millions of years? Try a more enlightened approach - you can do that and still have deep faith in God.
Remember when the church said the Earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around it? To argue differently was heresy, and surely you don't believe that!?

well first of all we cant go that far but we cam see how old the light is and what it is made of. what is easier to believe, a star forming , which they do i mean they come from somewhere, or some big powerful being saying let there be life? your wierd. i believe in god but there is ssssssssssssoooooooooooooooo much evidence on evolution that you cant ignore it. maybe you didnt pay attention to darwins theory in science class. all those finches yet all so different to each other?yea.....and oh yea one more thing stars dont get brighter unless they are evolving into a red giant or collasping or even exploding.

You do know that the church's official stance on evolution is midigated evolution, in which evolution takes place by the grace of God's guiding hand.
Stars can be formed from particles and gasses floating out in space. Also, evolution is not about the forming of stars it is how animals adapted to their surroundings by evolving.

Ignoramuses don't know lies from truth. Your argument makes no sense...just like all others against evolution. Evolution is one of our most strongly-supported scientific theories, but Genesis creation is merely a groundless myth. Incidentally, to mindlessly repeat, "Evolution is just a theory", shows pathetic ignorance of science. In this sense, a "theory" is not an unproven preliminary hypothesis but an idea that has been extensively tested and is well-supported by the evidence. On the contrary, there is much scientific evidence against Genesis and its pseudo-science incarnations (creationism, creation science and intelligent design). You are just mindlessly repeating some preacher's nonsense. I see that someone said evolution is a religion. Does one study it on Sunday morning in a hard seat while hearing shrill and awful hymns and a preacher with quivering voice that shatters my nerves and then have to give to regular offering, special offering and building fund? Certainly not! It is absurd to say evolution is a religion. If more people see it is true, they will stop going to church, and priestly con men will be forced to find more honest jobs. They fight against that, and you are gullible enough to repeat their meaningless drivel.

The formation of stars and their energy output has nothing to do with Evolution.
I do so enjoy those who have no Idea what they are talking about and use the opportunity to take a stab at evolution, it shows the complete lack of understanding and lengths they are willing to go to perpetuate the Myth of Creationism.

There are only a few thousand stars visible from the earth, with the unaided eye. The universe contains lots more, though. The earth was formed, over hundreds of millions of years, out of an accretion disk that surrounded our infant sun. This is a process that is going on even today, and can be seen in direct observations by astronomers. It's a 'cause-and-effect' thing. (Google for 'stellar nursery', and 'protostar'.) If you you were to get your nose out of the bible, and get yourself up to speed on what's going on in astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology, you would know this.
We live on a small dirt ball in the outskirts of an average spiral galaxy, containing somewhere between 100 BILLION and 400 BILLION stars. There is absolutely nothing special about our particular dirtball... unless you want to count 'life' as being special.
Consensus is that galaxies average around 200 BILLION stars. It is estimated that there are around 100 BILLION galaxies in the OBSERVABLE universe. If you do the math, that works out to around 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars.
Here's a simple experiment that you can do in your own living room, which will give you an appreciation for how big that number is. One of those one-pound cylindrical boxes of Morton salt contains about 5,000,000 (5 million) grains of salt. Go to the store and buy 40,000 boxes of Morton Salt and dump them out, into a pile in your living room. OK... in that pile there will be roughly one grain of salt for each star in our (Milky Way) galaxy.
Now, FOR EACH GRAIN of salt in THAT pile, go back to the store and buy ANOTHER 20,000 boxes of Morton salt and dump them out in your living room. When you are done, you should have a rough approximation of all the stars in the visible universe... and a very happy Morton salt company.
Please... do let us know how you make out.

WE HAVE THESE BIG AMAZING DEVICES CALLED "TELESCOPES", SAY IT WITH ME NOW....TELESCOPE AND WITH THIS "TELESCOPE" WE CAN SEE MANY, MANY LIGHTYEARS AWAY, AND WE CAN ACTUALY SEE THE DIFFERENT STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF STARS, PLANETS, GALAXIES AND SO ON. GRANTED THAT LIGHT IS COMING FROM VERY FAR AWAY AND THAT MEANS IT HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO, BUT SCIENCE HAS LAID TO REST, ALOT OF THE ISSUES SURROUNDING PLANET FORMATION. IT'S NOT A LIE, IT'S A FACT AND BY-THE-WAY, PLANET AND STAR FORMATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STUDY OF EVOLUTION. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE SOMETHING OR UNDERSTAND IT, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT THERE, OR FROM A DEVINE HAND. I CAN'T SEE THE AIR I BREATHE, BUT I CERTAINLY KNOW IT'S THERE AND IT WORKS, WITHOUT KNOWING NECESSAARILY HOW IT WORKS.
