And hence we have to inquire what are the groanings, and what are the pains. Let us see then, in the first place, what is the vanity to which the creature is subject. I apprehend that it is nothing else than the body; for although the body of the stars is ethereal, it is nevertheless material. Whence also Solomon appears to characterize the whole of corporeal nature as a kind of burden which enfeebles the vigour of the soul in the following language: Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity. I have looked, and seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity. To this vanity, then, is the creature subject, that creature especially which, being assuredly the greatest in this world, holds also a distinguished principality of labour, i.e., the sun, and moon, and stars, are said to be subject to vanity, because they are clothed with bodies, and set apart to the office of giving light to the human race. (Book I, Chapter 7, Part 4)

This disdain for creation is beyond my understanding, or rather it is contrary to my own reading of scripture.

God created the universe... and it was good. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory...

The sun, moon, and stars no doubt have many attributes of which I am not aware, but I profoundly doubt that vanity is one of them.
