Food for thought
#29
RE: Food for thought
I am not sure where to start, or what to respond to.

1) The firmament was considered to have been made of brass. It touched the earth at its ends, like a dome.
2) The flood is associated with the constellation of Argo. It has a Raven nearby as well as a star meaning "ground." These constellations are associated with spring months, i.e. the time of annual flooding. I would claim the 100 year flood founded at Ur would have been the closest possible thing the Biblical flood was based upon. After all my theory contends the OT stories centered around Ur.
3) The Rabbis had 4 basic tenets about the Bible, or OT:
a) There was a hidden text inside
b) It could be used to predict the future, the text applied to today
c) It had no errors
d) It was from God.

The cosmic myth idea, in which the Bible contains an astrological sub meaning explains why these 4 ideas which seem silly to modern scholars who haven't broken the astrological code, make sense in the light of the cosmic myth.

The Bible is not the only religion or text which is based upon the cosmic myth. I would claim nearly all religions and religious texts involving wonderous fanciful stories are cosmic myth in nature from Gilgamesh to Homer.
