Up to the present post, I haven't tried to discredit him at all. Did you notice that most of my previous post consisted of questions? What I asked Hector to do was to explain his reasoning and any evidence for his hypothesis. Sadly, it appears that he hasn't added anything much to his initial claim at this point. But more on that below.

Is a star a star before it ignites?
As Bell's post shows, their explanation is quite different to yours, not similar. They claim that there are stars in the dust clouds that have started nuclear fusion. You claim the stars are "unignited". If you can't tell the difference between their explanation and yours, I think you're in trouble.
But then a more disturbing possibility occurs to me - that you have looked at their explanations, but you didn't want to reveal information to me that is unfavourable to your position. And that means you're not really doing science at all.
The first thing any good scientist with an idea does is to try his utmost to knock down his own idea. Why? Reasons of honesty, for one. Also, self-preservation - if he doesn't do it and he is wrong, somebody else will inevitably do it for him, and he may even come out looking naive or incompetent.
You just do it all by eye then, do you? That doesn't seem very rigorous to me.
No problem.
I think you can take it as read that I have a reasonable understanding of gravity. Please be more specific. Why is the incoming material self-luminous? And why does it look an awful lot like the material is reflecting light from a star masked by dust?
Also, on another point, I think you might want to decide fairly soon as to whether you're making a primarily religious claim here or a scientific one. If this is a science thread, then we can move it to one of the science subforums. If it is a religious discussion, then I don't really see the relevance of a detailed discussion of star formation, and I'll most likely bow out of the conversation.
I don't think Genesis mentions star formation in Orion.
I'm not bound by your Supreme Court. But I agree we can drop the matter. You won't refer to it and I won't refer to it. Agreed? Whether atheism is a religion or not is an argument that we can have in a different thread if you like. Before you do that, though, please search some of the old threads titled "Is atheism a religion", so we don't rehash old arguments.
I don't see the relevance of this statement. The issue here is what the images show, isn't it? How does the photon travel time have any relevant impact?
How can you be so positive and attempting to discredit an individual that offers a different view then yours

I did not say there was no star. I said the star had not ignited.

Similar to mine. Remind you that specualtion is present in all cases. The Hubble team are satellite people more than the people out here who examine the findings more extensively.

How do you know the opaque areas are not just dust obscuring a star or some other object?
Good point. In this case, though, a keen eye can resolve the geometry of the gravitational field (assuming we are discussing the plasma jet) through inference. You can get a higher res shot at the site. I used smaller ones for browser compatibility courtesy.
You just do it all by eye then, do you? That doesn't seem very rigorous to me.
I'll see what I can do. I may actually have to scan in a page or two from a book and may not have time today, but Hold on to that question for a bit and I'll oblige.
No problem.
Why is the incoming material already luminous?
That's a good question that would lead any scientist to the chalk board, so to speak. For now let's just say "Gravity." What is gravity? Another subject. Tht too can shake some religious folks beliefs, because it may imply that God didn't create Himself, gravity did.

Genesis is a creation myth story, not a science textbook.
We are in an area where we are to compare the two. That's what I'm doing.
I don't think Genesis mentions star formation in Orion.
The supreme court ruled [atheism] is [a religion]. Till that is overturned here in America, it is reduced to semantic refuge.

All of these shots can only show us what was happening at the time the photons started heading our way. We still do not have shots that make the "tea cup jump together again and back up onto the table." Everyone is guessing a bit.

What the dust lane actually proves is that
1. the symmetry of the forces invovled in the plasma jet picture are toroid.[/quite]
Why toroid? Why not cylindrical? Also, how do you go from the symmetry of the images to the symmtery of the forces involved?
What forces do you believe are involved, by the way?
2. Those particles flowing in are solidified enough to have a reflective, yet possibly autolumination multiplexed, albedo.
I'm a little confused. Which particles are flowing in, and how do you know they are flowing in?
Also, what would the "autolumination" be due to, if it's an explanation? Previously you said "gravity", I think. I'd like a fuller explanation than that.
For what it's worth guys, I'm SYMPATHETIC to the atheist belief. I've been there. Done that. Dismissed it.
Off topic, perhaps, but what did you dismiss it in favour of?
I find it disgusting, though, when the dogmatic GIGO from ANY religion interferes with what would perhaps be defined better as a theoanaesthetic perspective. It's a meaningless grasp for a dopamine rush to slam the table and insist one belief or another is an absolute.
What is a "theoanaesthetic perspective"?
One fact. Letters between others of that era, describe that a fellow named Jesus, as (H)e is described did exist and was crucified.
Are you a Christian, then?
Some think Allister Crowley was God. I can't disprove that, but I can refuse to accept it.
Who is Allister Crowley?
This view is strictly from the theoanaesthetic perspective. It actually predates my return to theism.
Ok, I think I'm getting it now. You were atheist for a time, then you went "theoanaesthetic" (whatever that is) and now you're a theist again.
What brand of theist are you?
For the most part, let's explore that star from the design perspective. How would you design a star that works out of that ditoroid geodesic function? That much we know.
What is a ditoroid geodesic function?
You use a lot of complicated words.
