Any basic research 101 will help you.  I suggest you look beyond the bible as your main source.  You may learn something.

Here are a few more:

[quote]Genesis 1:16
God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.[/quote] (translation - The "great light" is the sun!)

[quote]Acts 26:13
at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me.[/quote]

[quote]Isaiah 60:19
"No longer will you have the sun for light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; But you will have the LORD for an everlasting light, And your God for your glory. [/quote]

metaphors - all connected to the sun and light[/quote]

Maybe Darwin was a metaphor!

That's right, the whole Voyage of the Beagle thing was a religious quest. The stop at the Galapagos was a search for demons of the mind. The Straits of Magellan were actually the atheist's philosophical straight jacket. Australia was a metaphorical desert of the soul.

See how that works?[/quote]

uh
not really

But you seem happy with your simplistic "aha" moment.

I'll let you bask in your glory.

You completely missed the point. That was obviously pointing out the absurdity of your own attempt to twist a literary metaphor into some sort of historical truth.

BTW, you or someone DID try to claim that Son of God = Sun of God, right here on this thread at 12/29 @ 9:50. You can't deny it. As if everybody was speaking English in 30AD. [/quote]
