Gen 1 14-19 it says the lights are for signs for seasons for days and for years. In Revelation there is a great sign in the heavens of a dragon and a pregnant woman... So in the end of Gen 1 14-19 where it says "He made the stars also" one might exclude them as being part of that purpose but Revelation certainly brings them back in.

I find another purpose though in Job where it says we can not know the ordinances of the heavens, ie all of the laws of physics. The more we study the heavens with our greatest minds and tools, the more we learn that there is more we don't know. This is also a sign. It is about the Glory of God who slapped the whole thing together in a day.

That's not for decoration! Stars serve no purpose for separating night from day. None at all. Also the sun is for growing plants, warming the earth, and solar energy. That passage didn't say there were no other purpose for the sun. Just as it says God created plants and trees, but no mention of any microbes. The bible didn't say anything about the planets either, that didn't mean they didn't exist. So what's to preclude that there are purposes for stars not mentioned in the Bible? That is to provide homage for alien life forms?

Biblewonk dictionary "ordinances of heavens" = "all of the laws of physics."

III Biblewonk 54:9

Conceivable. Does NOT preclude additional meanings and interpretations.

there is more we don't know.

Refreshing to see you say so. There may be hope for you, yet!
