Ancient demonology

An example of this can be found in Luke 12 where Jesus said in his own words that he had come to bring division to a family or even in a deeper sense to a nation or to all peoples...

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; "

sun burns constantly. The only day and night comes from the rotation of the earth so those on one side face away from the sun.
Sun came first, no the planets.

Bible is a simple explanation for simple man, not factual. From the perception of man, who was not there in the beginning, it is a wild guess.

It took millions of years and a number of extinctions before man's ancestor first crawled.

I agree for the most part. This is what is alluded to by the verse that says that before there was light, the earth was without form and void, and darkness covered the face of the deep - millions of years of prehistory when our ancestors were ignorant about much about life on earth and only had superstitions to explain the unknown.

I disagree that whoever wrote this story to teach their children about the realities of life were simple.

"let there be light" is not about the solar system even if the light of the sun or the stars were used as metaphors. The fact that metaphors were used and expected to be understood by children is evidence of complex thinking abilities and an understanding about the nature of the human mind that even the greatest fundamentalist believer out there in this day and age lacks completely.

You do realize that the Bible correctly tells us about:

1. The migration of man from a common source
2. That the universe had a beginning
3. That steps were involved in the evolution of the universe
4. The correct order of the steps
5. That each person is uniquely numbered
6. That the stars in the sky are countless
7. That we can learn about God from what has been created
8. That He would use the Jews to spread His message to every nation
9. That man knows right from wrong and when he violates it rather than abandoning the concept he rationalizes that he didn't violate it

All things that have since been proven true through science or observation. Not bad for a book of fairy tales and simple explanations.

The Chinese language is the oldest, continuous written language in the World. It was first written over 4,500 years ago. The inventors of the written language drew pictures to express words or ideas. Simple pictures were combined to make more complex thoughts. Well known history and common everyday things were used to make a word so people could remember it. The first five books of the Bible focus on the beginning of the nation of Israel; but the first 11 chapters of the Bible records the history that all nations have in common. This history was recorded as symbols used in the oldest, continuous written language in the World and was recorded over 4,500 years ago.

Various current Chinese characters have been traced back to the late Shang Dynasty about 1200–1050 BC,[6][7][8] but the process of creating characters is thought to have begun some centuries earlier.[9]

I don't know where you are getting this crap from, but Chinese history only goes back to about 1000 BC by which time the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks were already many more thousands of years old.

There is a theory that the Chinese originated from fleeing Hittites around 1400 BC when the Sea Peoples of the Aegean chased them out of Anatolia. Hittite and Chinese art are very similar.

Chinese writing is merely a form of cuneiform and Babylonian cuneiform looks much simpler and much older.

You do realize that revisionist Jewish scholarship does not and cannot trace Hebrew origins back further than the Persian captivity which was right after the Persians conquered the Babylonians. This is only back to about 450 BCE.

And even if you grant that there was such a person as Moses the Hebrew prince of Egypt, like Josephus says in 75 A.D., it was Moses in 1450 BCE who dreamed up all the crap in Genesis based on his own familiar myths from his Egyptian education at the hands of court scribes.

You can give your heart to the Bible but ultimately you need to be able to distinguish the fiction in it from the reality. There is a whole lot of fiction and bits and pieces of reality.

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; "

sun burns constantly. The only day and night comes from the rotation of the earth so those on one side face away from the sun.
Sun came first, no the planets.

Bible is a simple explanation for simple man, not factual. From the perception of man, who was not there in the beginning, it is a wild guess.

It took millions of years and a number of extinctions before man's ancestor first crawled.

I agree for the most part. This is what is alluded to by the verse that says that before there was light, the earth was without form and void, and darkness covered the face of the deep - millions of years of prehistory when our ancestors were ignorant about much about life on earth and only had superstitions to explain the unknown.

I disagree that whoever wrote this story to teach their children about the realities of life were simple.

"let there be light" is not about the solar system even if the light of the sun or the stars were used as metaphors. The fact that metaphors were used and expected to be understood by children is evidence of complex thinking abilities and an understanding about the nature of the human mind that even the greatest fundamentalist believer out there in this day and age lacks completely.

This was Moses' story which he used to brainwash the Hebrews with after he led them out of Egypt. Not sure where he got it. Probably just dreamed it all up.
