The latest estimate (from 2003) is that there are enough identified stars out there such that every person on Earth could have 11 trillion each (that's 11 million million). To put it another way, it has been estimated that there are about the same number of stars in the Universe as grains of sand on Earth, and there are more stars than there have been heart beats in the entire history of the human race.

And the Bible says that God knows each star by name Isaiah 40:26, 28 "Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name." "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom."

Stellar evolution states that stars formed from clouds of swirling dust. "The silent embarrassment of modern astrophysics is that we do not know how even a single one of these stars managed to form" says Martin Harwit, Science vol 231, 1986. Also, some galaxies spin in the 'wrong direction', see the CNN article 'goofy galaxy spins in wrong direction ' and we can only speculate at possible explanations.

Another anomaly concerns super novas. Stars die at a rate of about 1 in 30 years. When a star dies it forms a super nova ring. If the Universe is billions of years old, there should be millions of super nova rings, yet less than 300 have been identified to date.

Planets and moons should have cooled off billions of years ago, yet they are still hot.

One of Jupiter's moons, Ganymede, has a strong magnetic field, due to the liquid motion of the molten metal at the core, yet it should have cooled solid billions of years ago.

John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA) said "We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in."
