Have you ever tried to count the stars?

Itss impossible, you cannot do it.

Look into the sky on a clear night, out of the glare of streetlights, and you will see a few thousand individual stars with your naked eyes.

With even a modest amateur telescope, millions more will come into view.

Astronomers estimate there are about 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way alone.

Outside that, there are millions upon millions of other galaxies also!

Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Oh yeah, and He made the stars

Seems like an afterthought like it was no big deal

No big deal to God

But what a feat it was to create the billions of stars in the universe
