Looking at the scientific-astronomical explanation of the process of stellar generation, from the first moments of the Big Bang[1], to the present time, and then, as we move towards the future, it is clear that-the primitive violence of the cosmos, it has gone to a state that puts the galaxies generating stable, yellow stars and very long duration[2]. That frenetic pace of generation of stars has been slowing, the rate has dropped, and those giant stars, volatile and short-lived, have given rise to smaller stars, denser, with heavy elements and burn hydrogen at a leisurely pace and sustained, besides that they have formed around planetary systems[3], solar systems, where life and its evolution is possible.
It is essential to analyze the model to better understand stellar generation that all the mechanisms of the universe seem to move to create environments conducive to life. Not only to create conditions where life can proliferate, but also to evolve, grow and multiply[4].
God is God of mechanisms, mechanisms governed by laws, laws created by God, laws of physics, laws of chemistry, biology. Scientists discover these laws and explain them. God created the universe and astronomers explain its operation and try to predict their future.
At first glance we can believe that the universe is chaotic and unpredictable, but when analyzing the stellar mechanism by analyzing the Big Bang and the timeline, to look to the future and how the universal mechanism of God aims to turn the space into a garden full of life, it is clear the presence of God behind all creation. It is clear that chaos does not exist, but simply-to us, is lack of information.
Stellar evolution and life
Main article (New sources of life) The future of the stars by Donald Goldsmith. Scientific American 306, 32 - 39 (2012)
The stars are the factories of complex elements of the universe. It is thought that at the time of the Big Bang, -after the first 100 seconds, had occurred the synthesis of deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen), helium and lithium[5]. From that moment the star production began, and with them their grouping into galaxies. The first billion years of the universe have been how wonderful fireworks. Giant stars, blue, very volatile and very short duration, that exploded violently spreading around the complex elements that had been created within it, in that way over and over again, hundreds of billions of stars simultaneously. Then -at these more complex elements mixed with helium and hydrogen originally, the stars were becoming less violent and longer lives, this led to approximately eight billion years, since the Big Bang, make their appearance solar systems[6], with stable and long-lived stars like our sun. These conditions of stable and long-lived central/s star, added to complex elements forming planetary systems, create ideal environments for the appearance of life. God creates mechanisms, put into operation, creates the ideal environment and then planting life, huge amount of life in a vast and "green" universe.
As we said before, the stars that burn hydrogen and helium unalloyed last for a very short time, in the order of hundreds of millions of years, or as in the case of hypergiants, just 1 to 3 million years[7], which prevents the formation of life around them, on the other hand the stars of later generations, which are formed by impurity gases burn more slowly and its fuel stably and continuously making their lives longest. The lifetime is directly related to the amount of heavy elements in their fuel.
Death of stars and protection of life
Main article (Live slow to die old) The future of the stars by Donald Goldsmith. Scientific American 306, 32 - 39 (2012)
The death of stars is important in understanding how God protects life in the universe as well. Giant stars, short-lived, die in a very violent manner[7] and cause great destruction and damage in the surrounding[8], but, remember that your type of star and its constituent materials, life in its surroundings is highly unlikely therefore his death does not cause damage to surrounding life, especially by the improbability of their existence. Really the usefulness of these stars is to create the building blocks for solar systems, solar systems where life could exist [9]; but the stars of later generations are smaller, with less mass, and his death is less violent, most will simply shutting down, others burn their outer layers as red giants and then cooled as white dwarfs. Life in neighboring of solar systems unlikely to be devastated by the death of these stars. Apparently that the mechanism of God to create the stars and make it to evolve, also tends to protect life in their environments. First making it difficult to appear and then preventing perish in the surrounding area by disasters.
- «O Lord, how manifold are your works!
- In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.» (Salmos 104:24-ESV)
- «When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
- When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.
- May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works,» (Salmos 104:24-ESV)
