John 1:3 (NRSV):Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
So here we have the Christ of Christianity through whom all things supposedly came to be, displaying the most woeful ignorance of what stars are and what they physically can do. We know from modern astronomy that stars except the sun are trillions of miles away and like the sun are nuclear furnaces that are thousands of times more massive than the earth. It is physically impossible for them to fall from the sky to the earth like Christ is saying here (assuming we can trust the gospel writers).All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being.
Question for Debate: What then can we conclude about what Christ knew about the cosmos he is said to have created?
Well, he didn't know much about stars! Today any schoolgirl who has studied stars would know better than Christ reputedly did. This ignorance that Christ displayed about stars is not a trivial matter. It demonstrates that he knew nothing more than his fellow peasant Jews. He shared their primitive and superstitious beliefs about the world. No creator-god would lack such knowledge, but a delusional man living in first-century Israel probably would know nothing more than anybody else in his culture.
I doesn't stop there. Christ also knew nothing about germs and the unhealthy practice of not washing one's hands before eating. He even knew nothing about what causes both physical and mental illness attributing both to demons.
Christ, if he existed at all, was primitive, superstitious, and ignorant.
