Did-u-know astronomers have never seen a star born? Hundreds of star deaths have been observed. These are called supernovas. Huge contracting clouds of gas are supposed to be responsible for star births according to evolution. In the late 1960's satellites armed with infrared sensors detected hot spots in some large gas clouds in our galaxy. Astronomers assumed these hot spots in clouds were due to gravitational forces condensing the clouds, eventually they believed a star would be birthed. These hot spots could be caused by a dim star behind the cloud or a nearby explosion could have caused the hot spot. The bottom line is no star birth has ever been found by comparing old photographs with new ones. Actually, their theory goes against known scientific principles. When a gas is compressed and becomes hot it expands not contracts, so how could a star ever form in the vacuum of space where the gas could easily expand and never get hot enough to ignite. If stars evolve, astronomers should be observing about the same number of star births to star deaths. Maybe the stars were created in the beginning and some are beginning to burn out. (1)
