I suspect this is a quote, as you do not believe in galaxies, nor the Hubble telescope.
Once again, the lack of quotation marks means that you are passing someone else's words off as you own. That is theft.
King James Bible
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind
You haven't given a reference for this, but it's from Revelation 6:13 and is talking about after the 6th seal is opened.
Your point?

Given in post #2.500
Well you haven't read Revelation 6:13 then, have you?
AFTER the 6th seal is opened. After the earthquake and the sun turning black, and after the first 5 seals as well.
This is the end of the world, all kinds of things will happen. Always assuming that this is literal, of course.

But someone else still wrote it.

You wouldn't write that there are X number of galaxies because you don't believe in them.

Of course it's literal, it what Jesus also states in Mathew 24 .
Well then, it's something that happens after the 6th seal.
How could the sun turn black, as the verse also says? Because it's something that happens when the world is coming to an end.

So your comment that there can't be trillions of stars in the sky because they could not all fall to earth, is invalid.

I was just trying to make a point as this is what they tell us, if true how are all the stars going to fall from heaven as it states in the Bible.
If you were quoting somebody else, you should have said so, or at least put the words in speech marks/quotation marks/inverted commas, or whatever you call these things: " "

If you were not actually quoting somebody else, but were just stating what some people say to be fact, it would have helped to avoid misunderstanding if you had started your post: "Some people claim that there are billions, even trillions of stars....." As it stands, there is nothing in your post to indicate that it was not you saying it.

But the point is, the idea of billions or trillions of stars is not what you believe. However, your post did nothing to indicate that you were stating somebody else's belief. That is why both Strong in Him and I were puzzled.

My point exactly.
I know it's your point exactly. But it's illogical, and you are supposed to think logically.

There ARE trillions of stars in the sky. Just because you cannot see, or understand, how they might fall to earth - at some point in the future when the sun has turned black and the moon has turned red - does not change that fact. You are saying "this can't be true because I do not understand how it will happen."

God told Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.
How many people are there on earth - possibly trillions? Well then.

King James Bible
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Psalms 147:4
Well of course - he made them.
Yes - and how many people are there in the world?
They may not all be descended from Abraham, but the majority will be.
Abraham had two sons, and his grandson, Jacob, had 12,
