The Star #2

Today when we were discussing the short story "The Star," we started noticing the true meaning of the story. Which lead us to different dilemmas. I remember in class when we started disccusing the point whether or not God existed based on the guys explanation of what happened to the civilation. I believe that God created the universe and let things happen as they would naturally happen. Just because he didnt stop the star from destroying the planet doesnt mean he doesnt exist. God isnt going to stop every little thing that happens in the world just because it is harmful to us. Otherwise all of the good people who have died innocently would have never died in the first place. Another dilemma that comes to mind based on the story is whether or not there is life on other planets. Our universe is extremely large, why wouldnt it be possible for other life to be living on them.
