We are made of star stuff so that the universe can know itself.

We ARE the children of the Universe, we are made from the materials that originated billions of years back in time.

Laurence Krauss put it beautifully when he said "You are all star dust."

Everything is stardust.

Makes total sense to me; I don't think faith should close our minds to science. Stupid people with no desire to expand their minds won't accept it. My grandmother never accepted the moon landings. Its called willful ignorance - something with which I have no patience.

We are star stuff. The big problem is that we keep trying to go back there and we keep making up stories to explain it all by putting a god in the picture. The truth is, we do not know about the "nothing" in space. That "nothing" really is something but we just don't know what. As far as the universe, it may have always existed. I don't know for sure.

That was where all the heavy elements come from that allow us to exist, from their fusion inside stars that eventually novae, the remnants of which go on to form new stars to fuse into even heavier elements.

I call it the Butt Hair Between the Cracks argument. ( A cosmological argument)

The universe exist.
The universe must have had a beginning(so they say)
Something cannot come from nothing.( I don't know that is true)
God has never been proven to exist.
My butt hair exist.(and is made up of particles that existed at the beginning of the universe)
Therefore, My butt hair....
