The stars are not in the sky, you fucking idiot. They're in space. Far away from Earth.
And if they actually are able to gaze upon the start of the universe, I can assure you they will not see your imaginary skydaddy making everything happen.
Lets see, Beta Centauri is the closed star to earth. It is 4.6 light years away. Logically, if 1/3rd of the stars from the heavens are to fall to earth, this should be one of them. And it would be the first to arrive
At the speed of light, it would take BC 4.6 years to get to earth. by the time it got close enough, there would be absolutely no life left to see anything, even if it did not decide to have a gravity fight with the sun on the way. None of the other stars would matter.
And, BTW, it has not started moving yet. Which puts the rapture a minimum of 4.6 years away.
What about the other trillions of stars cocopea9052? You do the math. Oh wait...you can't.

I wonder what it will be like when they are gazing at the stars as they drop right out of the sky, or how about when the moon turns black?
Since fairy tales, especially the bloodsoaked, death cult, global snuff film variety, don't tend to come true... ever, I doubt that any serious astronomer has or will give it much thought.
Wonder how they will explain all that....
Astronomers aren't much given to explaining things that do not happen, isn't your rapture rather behind schedule already? So sad... Don't you know when you've been stood up?
The stars are not tiny specks of light spread across the sky firmament, you ignorant moron.
YOU have some explaining to do, for example can you explain why you are so uneducated?
@ GreenEyedLilo
How about if you ask him; why, if he got all As all through school on every single report card, in every class, and kept tons of school memorabilia, then why, oh Daddy Dear, are there none of those report cards in existence. Word to wise; don't be a smart ass 13 year old when you ask this. In the words of E.T.; "Ou-ch"

What do you get from driving a Mercury Meteor with a worn out seat?
Meteoroids
a-hyuck a-hyuck *snort*
Early in the 11th century Abu Ray?an Mu?ammad ibn A?mad al-Biruni, a Persian scientist, theorized that the speed of light was finite and that we were seeing stars as they were some time ago. "Cocopeabrain" is only a thousand years late and still can't get it right.
We call that the Dark Moon, it occurs right before the New Moon (that pretty thumbnail crescent moon).
We even know what causes it. The dark side of the moon always faces away from the sun, and therefore does not reflect the sun's light. This occurs for approximately three days in the lunar cycle.
What a fucking moron.
Do these people have no concept of the size of a star?
It's two-thousand-and-f*cking-eight, there's really no excuse for being so ignorant.
When they bring back images of a hot, dense universe that falls in line with the big bang theory, will you continue to cling onto your pathetic little "Jebus" theory?
Also, they won't be able to see what the moon looked like billions of years ago -- it's too fucking close.
Someone beat me to the submission. xD
I find this bit funny (from that thread):
The biggest problem with these kind of studies is that they proceed from a false assumption. If they would take Genesis 1 into account it would make a whole lot more sense to them.
For your information, stars are massive aggregates of hydrogen and helium that are many, MANY times larger than Earth. They can't just "fall out of the sky"... it doesn't work that way.
And no, nobody except for you is afraid that this is going to happen, so drink the kool-aid already and leave everyone alone.
Size comparisons Earth - stars:
Earth - Grain of sand
What happens if a tennisball drops on a grain of sand?
And, of course, the moon will randomly turn black. Oh, wait, moon dust IS black. Oh, and if stars dropped out of the sky, we would sorta be vaporized. But, failing that, you make PERFECT sense...

Confused?
