The bible is not a science textbook, but where it touches on science it never errs.
Would you care to comment on the modern incidence of leprosy infecting houses, and causing "reddish or greenish strakes?" It did that in Leviticus chapter 14. Do you have documentation of Mycobacterium leprae being cultured on plaster? Or even on wool or linen? No microbiologist has apparently been able to grow 'em on agar-agar yet.....

Maybe he wanted to play catch with his creation before he created the stars.
That's what the book seems to say, alright. And just what is the density of the non-vacuumuous non-void near the Earth now, anyway? Lower than the best vacuums we could make in the lab back when I was in school....

'course, our vacuum pumps were made out of flint back then.
