and there are millions of galaxies throughout our vast universe, and billions of stars. korans and bibles never teach us about the unimaginable vastness of our universe. religions package things very neatly , make it very simple and brainwash us.
i wonder why?

listen if you know anythinga bout the bible you would know that Astrology is a forbiden study according to God. The reason being, and this is what I think, you can get clues about the future from the stars like horoscopes and stuff. Now here is something to think about........What IF aliens landed on our happy little planet and we started interecating with them. Now here comes the dinger.......do you think that the aliens will know about Jesus and God and Heaven and Hell? wouldnt that just screw religion up really bad? so if there is other civilization out there and aliens and stuff, do you think they have the same God as us? Maybe will never get to see an alien landing and put all of that alien stuff behind...people claim they have been obducted, they claim they have seen aliens but think about that question before, what if they exist, do they have the same God as us? Do they have a religion? Are they people from the future in that case? Who knows there is just too many questions.....sorry about the ramble I get into this too much.

The sun, as previously noted, is the closest star to the Earth. Next closest is Proxima Centauri, which is 4 light-years away.
Please brush up on your science before you go rushing off like that; it makes you look like the brainwashing worked.

The closest star to Earth is called Sol. As in 'Solar System'. It's approximately 8 lightminutes from earth.
The next closest is proxima centauri, at approximately 4 lightyears. Near to proxima centauri are alpha centauri and beta centauri.

someone brainwashed you with that garbage. Our closest star is only about 8 light minutes from Earth.
So, what is 2 million light years? The Andromda Galaxy is pretty close at 2.2 million.

The closest star to our planet earth is 8 light minutes away. It's the sun. Next is Alpha Centauri, 4.39 light years away. Your science scholarship needs some polishing, but I get your point.

Job 9:8,9,&10 "Which (God) alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. Which doeth great things past finding out; Yea and wonders without number."
Arcturus is another name for the great bear. "Which doeth things past finding out;" speaks of a vast creation beyond all human understanding. "Yea and wonders without number", speak of the infinate size of the universe.

I think the star is name Alpha Centauri.
The universe is for mankind to find and explore. But being that we find warring amongst ourselves more fun, the universe will have to wait for another future earth humanoid.

Just commenting on your first sentence.
The nearest star is Proxima Centauri and it is 4.3 light years away.
The nearest galaxy is andromeda and it is 3 million light years away.
