Over 380 billion trillion kilowatts, the equivalent to 100 billion tons of TNT exploding each second.

Coincidence? Come on. Not even the most close-minded scientist can genuinely buy into that argument. It's there for a reason, and it's presence isn't random.
I wasn't aware that our sun contained 99% of the mass in our universe.

It contains that much mass in our SOLAR SYSTEM- not the universe. Phew! For a second I thought I was going crazy.

Uhm, er.

"Entire solar system" and "entire universe" are very, very, different.

Our solar system (planets, asteroids, and sun all together) are one of hundreds of thousands within our galaxy, which is one of many galaxies.

an infinite universe is one possibility, a closed universe is another. It depends on the geometry of the universe.

Our sun contains over 99% of the mass contained in the entire universe

if this were true, there wouldn't be life anywhere...
or better yet, there wouldn't be life on that 1% left over ...
plus you would have to fit all the other stars and black holes withing that 1% as well...

that'd be a really really big sun ::sweating::

Doubt is a powerful tool, it helps filter out lies. You can say that doubt is related to honesty, yet, religious followers will never doubt their beliefs.
The fact that God did not care to inspire mankind in the translation of his scriptures makes me doubt if he would care to inspire his scriptures in the first place
Being punished for holding an opinion that Jesus may not be God is as wacky as being punished for not having green as our favorite color.

It is believed that the Universe may be curved or even curve back on itself. They do not believe it is planar or extends forever. Some think our known Universe, with its billions of galaxies, may be a small part of something much larger.
