Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your right hand probably came from a different star than the atoms in your left hand. It's the most poetic thing I know about physics; we are all stardust.
You wouldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements you're made up of - carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron - weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars exploded and died. So forget Jesus. The stars dies so that YOU could be here today.

They all exploded, mixed and become the foundation of humanity?. It makes good sense(irony). Everybody knows what happens with explosions, and it's not very beautiful nor creative. I would say explosions destroy :) don't you agree ;)?
Explosions free energy that is otherwise locked up. It creates light and warmth and movement from dust and rock. And stars? They create all this from the coming together of little atoms, they create all this from the purest form of attraction and love on the smallest scale, to ultimately become us.
