the bible does not address the man of the 21st century solely. It uses metaphorical language?WHY - because it addresses people of all ages. If the bible said... God utilized quantum filaments bound them within a neogamic matrix and incorporated dynamic combative particles - people would say in the first century that this means nothing. It might mean something now(not really I made that schlok up). You are critiquing a book of the bible that is 3,500 years old. That passage by the way mentions spheres. Telling you the world was spherical. The world was never believed to be flat. The greeks new that and the egyptians - only one tribe in South America had the flat earth theory - yet Atheists always point out that 'we once believed the world to be flat' LET THERE BE LIGHT.
It doesn't use "metaphorical language". It uses the language of the man/men who wrote it in an attempt to understand there world. They killed people who questioned their understanding. If you were about in that era, you would probably have been one of the killers.
