(serious) I didn't say the world was created last Thursday, I said that last Thursday could be just as much a different state past as 4000 years ago
Crazy talk...don't mind if I repost something that had content..

Right, but the light that carries all that info is in our solar system, or at least close. That means it is HERE. So whatever info it carried from elsewhere (spacetime) has to exist here! That could mean that not all that exists at the star would even be in the light here! That could mean that the hydrogen and etc that was in the star, was having our spectra because it is here! What else could it exist as or look like? From our point of observation, we have never seen anything else. You have merely assumed that time exists as some arrow, or maybe some continuous line, or whatever way you conceptualize time. There is NO evidence for that. You are basically forming a mental model of the whole universe based on a shoebox knowledge and experience. To be fair, rather than a shoebox, it is more like a dust grain of experience and knowledge! That is where you are at. Confess.
Stars are not all the same;
Why would they be?? People are not all the same either. Creation and the Creator are like that. The bible even flat out states that the stars differ from one another.
there are stars with absorption lines of ionised helium and with temperatures of more than 30,000 Kelvin,
No. In our timespace under our laws, it would need to be that hot, to account for what we see. How would you know what helium is like in another time?
and other stars with molecular absorption bands temperatures of about 3,000 Kelvin.
Same as above.
There are stars that are losing mass at rates of more than a millionth of a solar mass per year.
False! That is based on size and distance that is wholly based on assuming time exists, and exists the same out there. If it doesn't, and you don't know, that means all sizes and distances are out the window. Rather than a sun, it could be more the size of a foothall field for all we know. You are preaching religious belief here, not knowledge in any way, shape or form! That is fine, as long as you admit it, and not try to peddle off your stories and claims as science.
There are stars in which mercury is 100,000 times as abundant as it is in the Sun,
Hey, maybe there are thermometers also like that!! So? That doesn't tell us the distance or size, or what all might also be in there, or etc etc. Heck, what if there was mercury on the space station, and we thought that was a star...and it was a lot more mercury than the sun? In that case, obviously, we know what it is, but that is NOT the case with stars.
and in which most of the mercury is in the form of the heaviest isotope, Hg-204.
Ha. That could mean many things to the mind that was not bound by the belief system of manscience.
There are binary stars with orbital periods of 10 hours or less.
So??? You kidding? There are atoms with orbits of less also! Since you have no clue as to the size your point is moot.
How do astronomers know all this? They know from the spectra of these stars.
Ha. In other words they do not know in any way at all. They see light in OUR 'fishbowl' and interpret with fishbowl time and rules.
How do you interpret the spectroscopic observations that astronomers have used to establish these amazing facts?
Strong delusion! As I pointed out since the light is not at the star but here, and you do not know if time exists there...you are hooped.
