Yes, like Franklin wrote, it is beautiful to read. Thank you.
At 72 years of age, I am not a homeschooling parent, but I do appreciate what you are doing.
And as a believer in the God of the Bible I would be able to tell my grandchildren that the stars are in the sky because our God created them, for them, to enjoy and to wonder at the One who was good enough to make the stars (and sun and moon) for them.
We learn in the Creation account, that on the fourth day, God said,
"Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. (Gen 1:14-16)
So, the greater and lesser light (sun and moon) and the stars were made by God to give light on the earth He had created, for signs and for seasons and for days and years. They did not and could not come about by chance.
This was beautiful to read, thank you for writing this.
Question, when referring to the stars being in water, I've heard this a couple of times, but do you have any information that I can reference? Essentially, space is water? I haven't seen a lot of information here so any pointers would be helpful :)
On the 2nd day of Creation God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.” (Gen 1:6-8)
About 1650 years later we read in the account of the great Flood,
“In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.” (Gen 7:11-12)
Thanks man! I'm working on an article about "the ether" and looking to see if there's anything that can link it to our reality. Perhaps an "Astral plane" or sorts? Any pointers in the right direction is greatly appreciated!

Recommended texts for 5-9 year olds as well as 3-5 year olds . Grandpa trying to wake up grandma and kids ... grandkids are waiting for the truth.
Thanks for the suggestion, Lance. I will see what I can put together.

Keep up your good work, Stephania.
Thanks for the read, Tim. And thank you for the biblical references. I am not a Christian, but I have a whole new appreciation for the Bible now.

Here are a couple of clues, Franklin,
On the 2nd day of Creation God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven.
