Sixth and I'll stop here because I need you to explain to not just me but everyone here this little statement from the Bible. God told Abraham that his descendants would be as innumerable as the stars in the heaven. Now how is it that a man of that time could have written such a statement when there are only around 6000 stars visible to the naked eye in the darkest of night skies. Don't try and argue there are more visible stars than that, it is established fact and do not try and say that it's metaphorical because that is a literal statement from the scriptures, so tell me how the writer could have ever know that the stars are innumerable?
The ancients saw lots of stars in the sky at night. The perception of innumerability of the stars was very evident to them. They didn't need to count them all literally to see it that way.
