Good morning, Adam,
Do you eat what you garden?
What volume of your material posessions began as one thing that was destroyed to make it into something else? Whst happened to the unused bits?
The author/s of Genesis assume that to be the case in the first of the two very different accounts we have of the beginning. The second gives no explanation for the heavens and the earth beyond attributing their creation to God and reall begins with the existing earth. Others have been over and over these with you before, I doubt I really need to waste the time myself.
Pardon? This is not my view. Never what I have expressed as my view.
There is life on stars that become supernovas?
Looking at nature local, I wonder what you mean by “values”. Nature is brutal. Get off planet, and it’s even more violent on a much larger scale and much closer up. You don’t need to have an ancient supernova to see that recycling through destruction is par for the course.
Sin has nothing to do with supernovas, or the myriad other destructive forces and processes in existence. Existence is dangerous.
I have been involved in a discussion of this that spanned two fora. You might look at the article linked in the discussion here. The question you raise is, of course, purely speculative and unanswerable, but can lead to some iinteresting ideas if one is willing to leave threats of apostasy, heresy and damnation in the locked safe at home.
The Bible is entirely geocentric in its understanding of the physical world. The authors were unaware of what is “out there” and misunderstood what they did perceive. We have no way of understanding how NT writers would deal with the things we have learned about the cosmos in the last 2000 years.
Revelation is hardly the book to read as straight forward historical accounts.
In that the Bible simply does not address much less understand this line of inquiry.
Again, this is not my position.
However I don’t accept your understanding of theology as ultimate.
This is false on both counts.
I don’t.
Science, by that I mean the study of the natural world and the development of effective and appropriate methods to do that, solves problems. Most basically, the problem of staying alive while having needs met.
Wonder can be part of our response to what we learn, and curiosity is a powerful driver. But no one sponsors incredibly expensive research, because we just want to be more fulfilled.
