Re: Bible far ahead of ancient astronomers!

Yeah, well that's a circular argument. My position is to look at as many
possible interpretations and give the Jews the benefit of the doubt since
your interpretation isn't particularly any better than anybody else's,
right? As long as at least _one_ interpretation works, it would be
pertinent. For those who are interest in ancient astronomy and who knew
what first. But I suppose that's not of great interest here it would seem.

People like their fantasies, for sure .... maybe on both sides of the fence
more than I realized.
