In his latest article in The Daily Telegraph, John D Barrow states that "the nucleus of every carbon atom in our bodies has been through a star". This I can not believe, as in the Bible it says that the Earth was created on Day 1, and the Stars were created on Day 4. As Man was created on Day 6, from the "dust of the earth", how can this statemant be true! Regards, Andrew Smith

If a carbon atom passes through a star and Andrew Smith isn't there to believe in it, does it make a sound? JackyR 23:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

There's nothing in the biblical exposition there that says that the earth (and hence its dust) was not made from a star... If the earth was made at the same time as the stars or whatever, then I guess you're going to have to choose who to believe; it's God or John Barrow. I know whose side I'm on...
