One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

a 6000 year old star?

You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

I'm pretty sure Dick Clark is older that that.

Dick Clark probably lived on a spaceship near that star (There were no planets back then...) and came here as soon as this planet was formed.
