Now, granted the article is a few years old, but what a fascinating thing eh? A star older than the universe?!

How could an existing star survive the Big Bang?

Well, I thought that Betelgeuse was really Kolob.

That was pretty interesting.

Ever since seeing Interstellar and finding out that time really does theoretically bend as extremely as depicted in the movie, I sometimes wonder if all the ages and measurements we've taken are off because time seems to be going at a different rate all over the universe.

Does looking at the light of a star and making assumptions about it account for all the various gravitational pulls it had to pass through to get here?

I should read that Astrophysics book by Neil deGrasse Tyson, now that I'm pondering...

How could an existing star survive the Big Bang?

If we embrace Kerry's idea, then the Kolobian Ring-World and its star could have been protected by a force field powered through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash, which is the governing power (either that or the power of the Priesthood - whichever is currently greater).

It is possible that the big bang itself was caused by the use of a Weirding Module that sonically beamed either the word Jesus or Joseph at a specially designated space coordinate.

It is possible

Now you're talking like a Book of Abraham apologist.

I would prefer the image of Don Quixote (or at least Sancho Panza).
