It is important to identify the actual message the Bible is conveying.
(It is interesting to note that the record of God operating outside the physical laws of the universe when dealing with man are few and far between in the Bible.)
I noticed that you did not comment on the other obvious symbolism I pointed out. Are you starting to see my point?
