Are you serious? 1) Surely the Bible is just making the same mistake I make when looking at the sky - imagining that I'm seeing millions instead of just 9k. 2) If it wasn't just an expression then there are an estimated 300 billion stars in the milky way alone. Astronomers put current estimates of the total stellar population at roughly 70 billion trillion (7 x 1022). I don't see that many descendants of Abraham. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A figure of speech that uses the stars as a reference to a huge number is not extraordinary evidence.
