That Is a Lot of Hot Air!!!!!!!

"I look up at your heavens, shaped by your fingers, at the moon and the stars you set firm -"
Psalm 8:3

Again & again, there is proof found by scientists that this universe is much more complex than it should be should things have popped up by chance. & in trying to explain things they just prove their huberis is a lot of hot air. Some of the comments about what is being labeled as the most massive star ever found are prime examples. Compare these 2 lines from an article about the most massive star found:
"Astronomers have confirmed the weight of the most massive star in the galaxy. "
"The new measurements are rough, and the stars might turn out to be considerably heavier or lighter."
Which is it? We know the weight, or we have a rough measurement. Actually, in science they are both a fair representation. Given that you can't put a star on a scale to weigh it, they best you can do is approximate the weight/mass. & the article does go on to clarify that fact:
"By measuring how the stars orbit around each other, the researchers were able to calculate each one's mass, though the level of uncertainty is still quite high (the larger weighs 116 plus-or-minus 30 solar masses, while the smaller weighs 89 plus-or-minus 15 solar masses). The astronomers hope to refine these calculations even further with future observations." The theoretic upper limit for a star is about 150 times the mass of our sun.
So what are these 2 stars & where are they located? "The heavyweight binary, called A1, is in the star cluster NGC 3603, which lies in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way, around 20,000 light-years away from our solar system."
"The two A1 stars are thought be "Wolf-Rayet" stars, which are very hot, heavy and evolved stars that appear to be losing a large amount of mass in a stellar wind, similar to our sun's solar wind, but stronger. These stars are so large and luminous that the pressure of their outward-pouring radiation outweighs the inward pull of their gravity, so material is constantly being blown away into space." According to scientific theory stars this size last about 2 to 3 million years, then they die in supernovae explosions.
& while I am awed at the discovery, I also am able to put it in context. Like the Psalmist who wrote the quote above, my response is the same as his:
"What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Yet you have made him little less than a god,
you have crowned him with glory and beauty,
made him lord of the works of your hands,
put all things under his feet,
sheep and cattle, all of them,
and even the wild beasts,
birds in the sky, fish in the sea,
when he makes his way across the ocean.
Yahweh our Lord,
how majestic your name throughout the world!"
Psalm 8:4-9

Again, please, don't tell me that all this came about by chance.
