Clashes with Reality

God commands beheading of those who worship other gods – ooooh, gross
- Numbers 25:3,4

God made the sun, then the stars
(i.e. the sun is older than the stars, which are somehow different things)
- Gen 1:16

Scientists have observed and dated stars many millions of years older than our sun.

We have plenty of evidence that our sun is nothing but an ordinary, medium-sized star.

It is not unlike billions upon billions of others in our universe.

Light of my life

God made two great lights, one to rule over the day, the other the night
( our Sun and the Earth’s moon )
- Gen 1:16

The moon is not a light.

It often reflects the luminance of the sun, though there are many instances when the moon does not-
for example, when the Earth is between it and the sun.



Often it is not seen at all during a given night depending on its phase and where on the planet you happen to be standing. It can also be seen during the day many times a month.
Thus it does not "rule the night". I do.
