The bible shows us the universe is only 6000 years old. So only the stars within 6000 light years exist. The rest are just an illusion created by God to test our faith.

"What is the Creationist explanation for why there are other stars and planets?" God created them. "If we were meant to live forever in some sort of paradise here on earth while revolving around a star we refer to as our sun, then why do other planets and stars exist?" Scientists think that, because of how the laws of our universe are, we need at least several galaxies full of stars to provide everything we need to exist on this planet. Why there are so many galaxies isn't fully known, but Psalms 19:1 does say the universe declares God's glory. That is one reason why the universe is so awe-inspiring, there are probably many more reasons. "If God supernaturally created these other planets essentially through magic rather than nature, then why are the other planets in our solar system so remarkably different from one another while at the same time, none of them have the right conditions which support complex life?" First of all, God created nature. So whether he magically 'poofed' all the planets into existence (unlikely), or whether he used his own laws of the universe to make them (likely) is up to him. Again, scientists believe that, at least in our solar system, all of the other planets help life here on earth. We are in an incredibly stable solar system. "Why don't all planets supernaturally support life as Creationists believe our planet does?" This is based on the assumption that if there's a God, the only possible reasons for other planets is for there to be life on them. That is an unproved assumption. Take the earth - the earth was ultimately made for human life, yet we only live on a small fraction of the planet. We dwell on the surface, and the 7000 miles between us and the people on the other side of the planet is uninhabitable. Also, 70% of the surface is water, leaving only 30% for us to live on. Even much of that is practically uninhabitable. God only made a very small fraction of the earth to be inhabitable by humans. So it shouldn't be surprising that just a small fraction of planets are inhabitable. "Why should any other planets in our solar system even exist then if they don't support life? They have no function from a Creationist perspective." To benefit life here on earth, and to glorify God. "Moreover, why do many of these other stars have planets revolving around them as well? Yet most of the 400 planets that have been discovered so far that orbit these stars (not counting rogue planets) do not have the right conditions to support" Actually, that number has more than doubled in the last couple of weeks thanks to a new satellite. The main thing scientists have discovered is not that there's no planets that support life (which would be very hard to detect), but that the solar systems are all unstable, leaving our solar system the only one known stable enough to support advanced life on a planet. But, from a biblical worldview, this is what we would expect. From a naturalistic worldview, you'd expect life to be abundant in the universe.

Dear immmmmm,
The Bible speaks about the second and third heaven. These are in reference to the whole universe and the place where the redeemed go after they physically die. The first heaven, of course, is the sky or atmosphere of the earth.
After the destruction of the universe on the last day, the Lord will create a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. I know you will not believe it, but the world is only 13,000 years old! Check the references I have listed. "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Um, I really don't see much connection between believing that stars exist and believing evolution?

God created the sun and the moon. Why does that mean we should accept evolution?
