...pulsars, galaxies, etc.? Would think only referencing the Earth, Sun, and Moon but not so much as the other planets of our own solar system curious. Nor does it seem to mention astronomincal phenomenae like shooting stars as asteroid or comets but uses religious jargon to describe them instead of mundane scientific language.
If God did all this, why isn't it covered in the Bible?
In the middle of our galaxy - you can see the galaxy with your own eyes - is a gigantic black hole. So what? The message is that we have a creator - not exactly how god made it. When "the spirit of god was hovering over the water" then "water" seems to be a concrete thing - but what they thought about in this time of history when they used a word like "water" (words are always abstracta) was for example that water is formless and water is a basic element of life and so on. Every word lives in an unspoken context. If you like to understand them then you have to go back in your thoughts some thousands years and to forget somehow what you know now, because you know what you know now only because people some thousand years ago went the first steps into the direction where you are now. What you ask is why they sat some thousand years ago not on the campfire "particle accelerator" when they spoke with each other about the messages of god and decided to write down in a book what they found.
