First of all, the time line of the explosion on "the star" relates to the time when Jesus was born, also known was the Star of Bethlehem. Which bring up the topic of is there a God? Because if there is a God then why did he cause, or let this planet be destroyed? The narrator also asks this question.
The narrator is a scientist but he is also religious. So can someone believe in both Science and religion? I think so, but I also think that someone will lean more towards one over the other. Personally I believe more in science, I have to see it to believe it. But then there come the question of faith. What is it? As Mr. Nail explains it, it is something that can't be proven. That makes since to me, but that is just me.
I understand the story better now. However, I don't really like to look at it in a religious way. I like to view it in more of a Sci-Fi/technology/space adventure kind of way. This story reminded me of the movie "Ghost of mars". I dint really know why.

The movie cover, just in case you had no idea what movie I was talking about.

you bring up a good point that someone will learn about either science or religion over the other, but what do you believe in? i mean to say, why do you believe in science more than religion, just because you can see most science?
Basically what you said. I am a kind of person that has to see it. I am not saying I dont believe in religion at all, I just lean more towards science. I havent studied the Bible or any other religion, and I wasnt raised that way. But to me you can't have one or the other. They are some how always going to relate back to each other. This is an on going bedate with no one answer. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want. And I choose to have a stronger believe in science.
