I'll never understand how people can equate a book full of magic and mythological elements with reality and science. A book making the claim that a man flew on a winged steed and split the moon in half cannot be trusted to be accurate regarding science. Then if the book has to be interpreted a specific way that only believers can understand or particular parts of it to not be taken literally, then the entire book is untrustworthy as a guide for reality.
