I wish I could find it again but I was reading some stuff about astronomy in the Bible, and while it of course needs a mix of figurative and literal interpretations, some of the stuff was very ahead of it’s time as far has what became human “discoveries” later on.Draw from this what you may. A Strong's Concordance would be a valuable research tool here:
Genesis 1 14-20
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
The age of the earth thing I can’t get on board with, but the jwst has almost every scientist out there rethinking their ideas in the formation of the universe
