Re: no way to treat literature
But Ezekiel never mentions DNA any more than the book of Revelation mentions the Beatles.
clearly, the four horsemen of the apocalypse represent the beatles.
*shakes his fist in the air* you children these days and your infernal rock and roll musics!

Ezekiel and four horses you guys are way off topic...it was because
Darwin released his theory of evolution in 1858 AD and published it in 1859 exactly 150 years after this date is 2008 or 2009 AD. This book that Darwin published is a major sorce for disbelief in God.
If each day is a month being 30 days and if one day can be used to signify one year in Bible prophecy, as has been used by the Lord before in Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6. then the 5 months in Revelations 9:5 would end in 2008/2009 with the return of the Lord.
The sting like a scorpion, in Revelations 9 is referring to disbelief in God or skepticism metaphorically. Of course this disbelief and skeptism will end when the Lord returns, as 'every knee shall bow'. But first there must be a nuclear war unfortunately.

What about coconuts?

Re: Ezekiel with DNA:
DZ writes:
Please go on to explain the second:
2A: Ezekiel described the four living creatures: “Their wings were spread out upward; . one touching the wing of another creature on either side.” “and each had two wings covering its body”.
2B: The biological scientist described the four nucleotides in a DNA molecule: One kind of the chemical bonds is between the phosphates and the sugars to form sugar-phosphate backbone for linking one nucleotide to another. Another kind of chemical bonds is hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides (A-T, C-G), responsible for establishing and preserving DNA’s special structure and functions, such as, the bases are largely buried in the interior of the DNA and are kept away from water.
2C: I think, obviously, Ezekiel saw “bond between the phosphate and the sugar” as “wing touching the wing of another”; saw “the bases are largely buried in the interior of the DNA and are kept away from water” as “wings covering its body”.
But the reason that the water can't get into the interior of the DNA is because of the "body", not the wings. And, why no mention of base complementarity - the most important feature of double-stranded DNA - in the biblical verse? Why mention sugar-phosphate bonds instead?
