I stick to my stated goal: to prove using only the Bible that the Sun is not a star. Can you answer the question I posed to m1a1 in my reply above about Matthew 24:29? What about the creation story where it says God created the Sun, then 'he made the stars also '?

Thank for quoting beliefs at a time when people didn't even know what the stars were. We now know that the Sun is a star because we have seen it using space probs and the Hubble Telescope, along with radio telescopes and compared it to other stars we looked at and discovered that the Sun is a star, it is in fact the star the Earth orbits in it's tiny little section of the universe. As seen in The Simpsons, the stars falling to sky could in fact be an ambigous term.
The Bible names the Sun. Wow, how insightful to notice the huge fireball in the sky that appears EVERY DAY.
In the Torah and Bibles time other cultures had named some of the other stars and groupings of them, some had even realized our sun was like those other distant lights.
The Ignorance of Abrahamic scrolls prove only that they were a primitive culture compared to the knowledge that surrounded them.
Wellll, if the Bible can claim bees have four legs, and all the world's animal and plant species can fit in a handcrafted wooden boat, and people can live inside fish for several days, and verbose reptiles can crap all over an omniscient God's plans, etc. etc. etc., then the Bible can fucking claim the sun ain't a star as well. I mean why change the wonderful biblical tradition of pulling facts right out of the back door?

...as per your literal word-for-word, letter-for-letter Bible. The likes of Dr. Buzz Aldrin, John Glenn, Alexey Leonov, Valentina Tereshkova, Yang Liwei, Zhai Zhigang, and the current crew of the International Space Station would like a word with you.
Either the Jim Carrey film "The Truman Show" is a documentary", or your true 'Word of God' is all lies. Word-for-word, letter-for-letter fiction. Lies . And you can take that one to NASA, and Space Command in the Pentagon. Three letters: G.P.S. Another three words: Solar Probe Plus.
Confused?
