This is a question for theists:
Why do most mythical religious figures go up? Pentecostals call the Holy Spirit down. Jesus and Mary ascended. Muhammed (Bandit warlord that he was) rode a horse up.
If you are standing in Kentucky up is down if you are in a boat off the west coast of Australia. Therefore if a person in Australia called down the Holy Spirit wouldn't it come from the below the ground?
If Jesus or Muhammed (and the horse he rode out on) rose up at noon he would end up in a different place than if he rose up at midnight.
Are the heavens located in a ring around the earth or did this "up" thing start because the creators of these myths were simply ignorant of the topography of the earth and it's movements through space?
