If sunspots are pretty much like a void in the surface, why do they appear darker? Shouldn't the closer you get to the nuclear furnaces core be brighter?
Why is the corona hotter? Should the surface of a nuclear furnace be hotter than the photosphere around it?
I am definitely not anywhere close to being a cosmologist, but these seem like good questions that piqued interest to me.

Why do people like you assume that scientists are absolute morons?
You readily admit that you're not exactly an expert on this matter. Yet, when some random people raise a few questions, you just go ahead and apparently assume that those are arguments that the many scientists in the field have never thought about.
Instead of listening to points that "made sense" to a completely uneducated viewer, perhaps you should try googling them and see what organizations like NASA have to say?
Typically, the reason that mainstream scientists reject the arguments of fringe scientists isn't that they're unaware of their arguments. Rather, it's that their arguments simply don't hold up under scientific scrutiny.
If you want to dispute the findings of mainstream science, here's what you do: you head over to the nearest university, enroll, and spend the next eight years studying the subject. At the end of those years, not only will you have a shiny PhD to show off at parties, you'll also have a good understanding of the subject.
The interesting thing here is that a vast majority of the people who have taken those steps and have spent those years studying the subject reject theories like these. That should tell you something.
