Then we realized that many of the lights in the night sky were not stars but galaxies of billions of stars. Then we seemed to find that all these galaxies and stars were moving out from a central point. Again we felt that we were at the center of everything, even though that center was quite large. Now, we seem to find that there are stars out there that are older than our previously defined universe. When the universe is considered to be 9 billion years old and yet there are stars out there that are 20 billion years old, we find that something does not add up.
Science entertains all sorts of theories but embraces only what can be proven.
This creates a finite scientific universe of only what is observable. Everything else, from a scientific perspective, simply does not exists. This is where things are beginning to break down. Jews, Christians and Muslims, who represent about half of the world's 6 billion religionist, believe that God created the heavens and the earth and set humanity over all of it. That was easy to believe when what was know about the heavens was very limited.
