Quote:"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."
Basically, God decided to create the sky (a solid dome - "hard as a molten mirror"), so that there was something separating all that damn water which the entire universe is made of. The sky occasionally opens it's windows so that some water can come through - this is why it rains.
Essentially, when NASA launch their rockets, they go "bonk!" against the sky dome and fall back down again, and the reason nobody has been on Mars is because they all drowned on the way.
Genesis 1:16
Quote:"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."
It all sounds well and good, doesn't it? God makes the sun to light the day, and the moon for night-time. Yes, it would indeed be all well and good, if he hadn't already created and named light, dark, day and night two days ago.
It would seem that God finished creating days on the third day... So where the hell did the first two come from?
Deuteronomy 22:10
Quote:"Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together."
WTF? Someone please explain
Deuteronomy 23:1
Quote:"He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD."
That's right girls! No dickie and plums, no entry! Don't even ask about what customs is like when you get there!
You've asked good questions.
These are parables, of a higher reality of how the first humans and reality and everything was created, before they took on form in this world. Particularly it's about the exalted ones who were the word of God before this world, and were with God, and the word of God was the exalted ones. ("it's bidirectional")
Water represents a parable of the pure and moistness of the light. Clay represents two things, the molding nature of the spirit and plants and food represent what grows from the heart from the seeds of goodness.
Animals represent desires and abilities and forms our emotions can take. There are polar opposites from one perspective and complimentary from another, of each type of animal and plant and seed, and part of guidance is balancing everything according to God's ship and Captain.
You have to combine in the beginning was God's word to understand these parable to be about the exalted ones.
The Quran elaborates on these verses through, and the hadiths elaborate on those elaborations, and so the key to understanding all reminders of the past, is through the family of the reminder of your time, which is Mohammad and his family.
The Sun and moon and stars are all referring to the same thing, but they take on different form depending on the stage of the soul.
Star is for all humans outside the door of light, that it's form, a distant star. But the name of God and his chosen image takes that form when we are far from God or the darkness has overwhelmed us.
The moon is most of the stages.
The Sun is the 7th stage, in which there is day, and no longer any darkness in it.
Religion mainly is concerned with the moon and star stage, because, once you get to the sun, you really don't need parables and explanations, but you are directly guided by the sun and it's light.
Moon consist of five stages.
Star is the first stage.
And the 7th stage is the sun.
The rest of the verses, I have not thought about, and don't know what they are about.
