:Waves shiny object:
Happens all the time? Where, in the vicinity of bronze age oil rigs? You're going to have to do better to troll the text out of this one. The author took great pain to stress the fundamental upheavel of what he understood as otherwise immutable natural forces. Fire burning on water has nothing to do with petroleum, and everything to do with a call and response system common to this sort of literature. He's just taking the reader out of his own time and place - putting him in an unfamiliar world where up is down, black is white. He does this because in the very next verse (already quoted here) he plans on attempting to sell the audience a fucking whopper. It's good to punch em in the gut before you hit them in the face, if nothing else, their face is easier to reach. Glad to see you're still thinking about the big bang. Is there anything else I can help you untie or have we reached the limits of your knowledge on the subject?

Again you ignore the narrator of the text. But thats okay. You want to imagine the narrator as a 7th (the "ancients"....lulz, too much stargate and ancient aliens for you sir) century byzantian sailor I'm okay with that. It's your fairy tale. butcher it as you see fit.
