OK - I'll give you that. That's why in a subsequent post I wrote "theory" (but I still reserve the right to think of it as "fact"). ;-) -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Hutchings, Mat (H USA) Sent: Friday, March 09, 2012 10:15 AM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Fw: Tyson on starstuff Not sure we (as humankind) know enough about either scenario to tack the word "fact" to them. There's a whole lot we just don't know nor understand. History has shown that our "facts" have been pretty changeable. I don't expect that "fact" to change real soon :) Mat -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces+mat.hutchings=siemens.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces+mat.hutchings=siemens.com@mailman.xmission.co m] On Behalf Of Kim Sent: Friday, March 09, 2012 11:18 AM To: 'Utah Astronomy' Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Fw: Tyson on starstuff I consider this fact (i.e. that we're made of star stuff) as one of a number of key evidences for an ancient earth/ancient universe and I share it when I talk to people at astronomy programs. I know that we have some on this list who believe in a young earth, and I truly don't mean any disrespect here, but perhaps they would be interested in commenting on how the creation of heavy elements in the cores of stars and the fact that generations of stars were necessary to our evolution fits with that perspective. Anyone?
