Now you're just making stuff up I think.

I still say the funniest stand up comedy is the image of you screaming your bloody head off in some forgotten grave, and spouting word salad, while God laughs his *** off.
Renounce the flesh? I thought you were all about standing up from the dust and going to heaven, body and spirit together. Me? I am all fleshy. Love it as long as you don't corrupt it.
Dust is dust.....it lays in the box.
I intend to have a spiritual life.
"you" don't exist.
Let the dead bury the dead.

Such a waste. You're passing up having a rich spiritual life now. It's a sure thing now, but you may find the pool you are so eagerly waiting to dive into is empty of water in an uncertain future. Dance now. You may not get the opportunity you are hoping for. Didn't you ever read the parable of the Lilies of the Field?
I do not see starlight blended.

Not facing the stars, but with your back to the stars, all starlight illuminates the Earth as one light, though dimly.

Oh dear, the insults are flying again! I'm glad I'm on ignore, at least I won't get any abuse this time around.

Well, until you put a prism in front of it.

So us poor fools have yet again misunderstood the teachers profound words......oh dear!

You are going to need a lot of batteries!!
I did wondered about that and I am not sure if night on earth is illuminated by stars or by ambient light from the sun. There are particles in the space around the sun. Yes? It might be the sun, though on the other side of the earth, which lights the night. I don't know.

The message is that you are preaching a personal belief system with no authentic experience to back it up. It's also clear that you have little real understanding of the material you are cherry-picking from here and there.
People with genuine insight tend not to be dogmatic and defensive about their views, and they tend not to hurl abuse at people who disagree with them.
You might be better off preaching in the New-age DIR, where nobody will be able to challenge your peculiar ideas.

Yes, light from distant stars. The brightest object in the night sky is of course the moon, which is reflecting light from the sun.
On a moonless night the earth is illuminated by distant stars only. Correct?

Yes. And other deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae.

Yes, and the word I was searching for earlier when talking to Midnight Rain was 'diffusion'. Of course, both starlight and sunlight are diffused by our atmosphere, scattering the light.
Photon diffusion is a situation where photons travel through a material without being absorbed, but rather undergoing repeated scattering events which change the direction of their path. The path of any given photon is then effectively a random walk. A large ensemble of such photons can be said to exhibit diffusion in the material, and can be described with a diffusion equation.

How about near space? Does it add illumination? I ask because if it does, then how do you know deep space does also?

I think it's rather odd to put somebody on "ignore" because they disagree with you on a debate forum. I don't mind though because I have been spared GNG's latest round of abuse and personal insults. He can very unpleasant with people who disagree with him, quite nasty actually.

Any bright object in the night sky will provide illumination, including the planets in our own solar system which reflect the sun's light like the moon does.
"Deep space" just means a long way away.
Deep Space
That is not the question. Is the space on the night side of Earth before you get to "a long way away" void? I don't know. Do you?
I wish for a drawing tool on forum please.
