ITT I will post a multitude of examples on events described in the bible actually being real, and are just explained away by using different terms to describe the same events or by distorting timeframes to hide the truth of the bible in order to explain away any spirituality and turn people into neat little consumerist drones whose ethic values can be shaped freely at will
To understand the Bible you first have to understand that besides being historical records and guidelines it also is an occult text describing metaphysical properties, and uses symbolism, metaphores and parables to explain those as certain concepts just didnt exist in the language back then.
The bibles genesis in example talks in some sense about what we call Big Bang. Both underlie a similar principle which is the easiest explainable in the realm of math. In the beginning there was nothing but God (consciousness) and everything was created out of nothing, 0. Out of this you can make something by creating opposites. +1 and -1. You now have something out of nothing, which when put together will be again nothing. In the world of physics you have the Big Bang, out of nothing pops up matter and anti matter, energy and dark energy, protons and electrons or +1s and -1s out of 0.
In the bible you have god creating heaven and earth, seperating the day from the night, taking the female from the male (adams rib creating eve), creating duality out of nothing, same principle.
