Are you genuinely answering my general point about scriptural metaphors not being literal, or are you deliberately obfuscating by commenting why God used a footstool as a metaphor?

I do not deny that it is a metaphor and metaphors are used for highlighting the similarities between different things. But I do not admit that the Holy Bible is made up entirely of metaphors with no actual history to be found.

I'm not suggesting that the Bible is made up entirely of metaphors. I'm trying to understand why you believe that the concept of black holes goes against scripture. So far you haven't made much of a case to be honest.

Because curtains do not normally have black holes in them.

I tried.

Black holes in space are obviously cancelled out by the two opposing scientific theories and the Holy Bible says nothing about them in the curtain-like fabric of space.

So common sense reasoning would require us to believe that they were not mentioned because they were not there. It is not logical to think God would make black holes in His curtain of space.

Are you saying then that if any cosmic phenomena is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, you don't believe it exists?

How does your silly comment address my question to you? Do you ever read you posts back to yourself and find it dawning on you why people hold your opinions in such low regard?

Scripture uses the metaphor "curtain" to describe the heavens/space and because "curtains" don't have black holes in them, you therefore don't believe black holes exist - this is your position correct?

You come on the forum, start a thread making big claims and then go all silly and childish when you are challenged about them. Do you think this strengthens or weakens your position?

From my viewpoint it seems that you are acting like an idiot with no ability to understand the simplest of concepts. Maybe it would be better for you to act like you have some common sense even if you don't.
