'sky' is just as much a misintepretation of what people actually believe as it is empirically false to anybody with access to a telescope that doesn't show a bearded man.

I think this is why I was confused before.

And what would you say were the true interpretations? Because that's what it says in the texts. Have a look. http://www.infidelguy.com/article1.html

Or the video for it --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3XSpjfyFis

This is rocky ground, but it's been theorised by Karen Armstrong among others that Biblical literalism is more of an early-modern formulation than anything else, and that in some ways it's likely that the ancients differentiated between interpretation and literal fact. This is argued against by several other historians, but in this view the Hebrew texts would have been using 'sky' as a basis for favourable association (vastness, light, freedom) in much the same way that Jesus uses 'salt' in the Sermon on the Mount. Again, there are varying opinions. I'm going to college next month and I do plan to ask my Biblical Literature professor about her opinions on these things.

The part that makes this difficult is: "Which parts are literal and which are metaphor?" In either view, you can't have absolute certainly, huh? (Not that you necessarily could, anyway.)

It's really really impossible to absolute certainty about anything Biblical. The trick is to see which parts of the Bible are coherent with one another and with other systems of knowledge. I am not in fact a Christian (in the traditional sense, anyway) but that's only because I don't try to pigeonhole everything into a Biblical context. When you try to do that you've failed before you've even started.

It's really really impossible to absolute certainty about anything Biblical.

Like...the whole book?

Damn, I mistyped that sentence! What I meant to say was that it's really really impossible to speak with absolute certainty about anything Biblical.

What I said still stands, really. ^^;
