Is this an indication of what most creationist hold to be true, or...????

I suppose that the great violence and huge explosions that occur on the Sun is because of man's sin, as well.
That belief is not one iota different from believing that Thor throws down lightning bolts or believing that the gods are angry when there is a drought.
I am so grateful that we have science. Otherwise, fear and superstition would rule the day.
