So then is it safe to say that the stars fit creation? We see them digenerate, and if the world was billions of years old, wouldn't there be more novas and super novas particles?

All that shows is places getting brighter, which could be numerous things...
nova, supernova, dust clearing away etc.

If you are asking weather or not science and creationism can exist together, I think the answer is yes. Science is just our understanding of how God created the universe.....and our understanding changes all the time. There's a plethora of information on the internet about the subject, and my advise to you is to be warry of scientist types who say they are absolutely correct and everyone else is wrong. Also, be crittical of religious types unwilling to at least listen to the scientific community. Have an open mind....and faith in God....and you will be well served.

Look up "Eagle nebula" Gamma ray bursts, supernova, hypernova, "great nebula in Orion".
Next time a large building is going up in your area, look at the site. Go back the next day and look again - not a lot of difference is there. Over several months the place goes from an empty site to a hole in the ground to whatever floors of ferro-concrete. A building goes up in several months, a star takes millions of years - they are bigger, after all.
Astronomers are taking snapshots of the star building site, maybe only the one. You can see something is happening but you can't watch for months or years. There are more astronomers than telescopes so time is limited.

No, but simple math and common sense has. Stars take billions of years to form. How can you "see" them do it? It is like wondering why you can't see people age in a day. It is a simply matter of time.
In regards to your further comment, what makes you think we'd see more nova particles? I think you are failing to grasp the magnitude of "billions" of years and the massive size of the universe. Add into that the fact that the universe is thought to be expanding, and it is a wonder we see as much as we do. We are constantly become further and further away from the action.
I noticed that you asked this same question in the religion section. Your insinuation here seems to be that you are trying to prove that God created the universe. I fail to see how any of this proves this one way or another. Even if you were right, what does it prove? It proves scientists have a lot to learn, but even they'll admit that. It does NOT prove anything about God, negatively or positively. The fact that you are obviously ignorant of basic astronomy only succeeds at making the rest of the people who believe in God (and science) look bad. I really wish you'd stop and think about your questions better.

Well ,stars do go nova right before our eyes,but not take shape right before our eyes. That's because it takes millions of years for that to happen. Take a look into Orion Nebula. It is a stellar nursery. That is where you see stars evolving from a cloud of hydrogen, in a process that has been ongoing for millions of years. And science has explained why we do see stars forming. You just need to open up your mind to see it.

Well, it takes million, even billions of years for stars to form. The only way you can see them form is if you filmed one and then put the video on fast-foward. Right now, all we can see is dots of brilliant light in space dust. It's like trying to see a baby become an old man in a day. It takes time.

I saw a documentary recently that showed a clear spot in a nearby nebula that they said was a new star or solar system forming.

Star formation is too slow to see happen in real time. It would be like watching a mountain weather away down to a hill. All we can do is see different stars in different parts of their lives and make a model of how they evolve.

But astronomers HAVE seen stars forming. Take a look at this website ==>http://www-astronomy.mps.ohio-state.edu/~ryden/ast162_3/notes13.html and this one too ==>http://www.spaceimages.com/honeph1.html

Our technology is not yet sufficiently advanced.
