Because there's no way for current human technology to disprove his claim. Or the claims of the other powerful beings that make the same claim to placing the stars.

So, what happened?

Were the stars always there, and humans, by seeing shapes in those stars and assigning a reason for those shapes, end up creating beings that placed those stars? Which comes back to a question from earlier...

In humans seeing the stars and attributing it to the beings, did the beings they created retroactively place the stars so humans could attribute the placement to them?
