Question... How does anyone know that our Sun burns Hydrogen? Was a prob sent to the Sun to collect data? Is there a lab on the Sun that I’ve not heard of? How can anyone state with such certainty what the Sun does or does not burn with the limited knowledge we actually have about the Sun?

The Sun converts hydrogen in to helium and then that gets converted into higher molecules. We know this from spectrophotometer observation of the sun.

What’s really going to freak you out is we know what the interior of the Sun looks like.

How do we know the sky is blue?  We can see it.  We have models that explain it in irrefutable terms.  We are able to actually recreate it in a lab.  

But no one's actually grabbed a handful of blue from the sky and studied it.

Let me guess... your disdain for science is a function of being a creationist.
