Originally posted by RJHindswhat is your explanation for our observations of stars and galaxies being slowly formed? are we mistaken, if so what are we really observing?
Apparently you skipped over the post immediately after the OP. I answered the OP question with the simple reply - NO.

do you accept that stars die.

The second law of thermodynamics would indicate that stars will also die out in time due to loss of energy.

I thought you were directing me to a real science article. The first two paragraphs were basically the same kind of finger wagging moralizing nonsense I can get listening to you, and the science portion of it was even less informative than I thought it would be. Maybe next time you can direct me to a real science article, if that wouldn't be too much to ask.

Oh, right... I almost forgot about nothing! You wanted to pretend you don't know nothing and then have me explain it to you, is that right? Very well, I'll pretend you do know how to define it and start by saying nothing (a state of nothingness) is self explanatory. Okay, now it's your turn. 😵
