...if they are all 'for lights' for earth???
Genesis 1:15
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Does this (along with about five hundred more) discpepency show that the Bible is manmade rather than of God?

sue h: This passage is specifically speaking of stars. Maybe you need to read it yourself. I already have.

Why not?
Does the artist always display his work?
Does each father "always" explain everything he does when he comes hometo his family?
Why is this important to you?

The human eye can only comprehend a portion of what God created.
If you think the the Bible is man made, do a web search on Bible Prophecy, this should prove that the Bible tho written by holy men of God it was also inspired by God. Be sure to check the dates the Prophecy was made and the date it was fulfilled. The odds of these things happening as prophesied are way, way, way out there.

I include this scripture at Isaiah 29 ; 16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, He did not make me? Can the pot say of the potter, He knows nothing?
God can do whatever He wishes. Somethings may serve a purpose for Him that we don't yet understand. There is still a lot we don't know about our universe, but we do have everything we need to survive and enjoy ourselves here on earth.

When the Bible was written they had no idea what stars were. We were the center of the universe and everything revolved around a totally flat earth. The Bible is just a collection of stories written up by a bunch of sheep herders sitting in their tents and had no idea what the universe is all about.

Because we are not the only things He created. I'm not sure if the Bible said they are All lights for Earth, but then, it's the Bible written by men.
The universe expands for eternity. Do not think we're alone to appreciate it.

Perhaps they are visible to some other part of His creation?
Must this tiny planet be the end all and be all of God's ambition?
I don't think so.....
On the other hand, if God were to include every single facet of His Creation in the Bible, we'd need a fleet of sixteen wheelers to cart the thing around.
So why look for things to argue about, for goodness sake? Wouldn't it be better to look for things to agree on?

The light from the stars that are close enough to see takes millions of years to get here so we should not be seeing them in a 6000 year old universe. For more fun read the quran. They are missiles set in the sky for Allah to kill demons. Now that's science!

It shows that this are lost or distorted when translating from one language to another. Men are the ones who actually placed ink on the page. That doesn't mean it is not of God. Take for example the erroneous expectation that we must perfect (error free) according to Matthew 5:48. The Hebrew word for Perfect is COMPLETE, not error less. So Christ is telling us to be complete. Therefore, we have to find out the steps necessary to become complete. That is how we become like him.

THE STARS WERE NOT WHAT THE MAIN LIGHTS-----DON'T TAKE THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT------------THE BIBLE TELLS YOU, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, THAT SCRIPTURE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD. GET A BIBLE AND READ IT. AND ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH WIILL SET YOU FREE.

He created them so you could wonder at the power of his vastness in creation. Is there an end to the universe? Is there something beyond the universe? How can we answer these questions, simply we cant. And there in lies the wonder of his creation. Well i read the Koran i cannot comment about the bible.

I'd have to say that the Bible was written for the sake of a moral code book, not to be taken as the end-all, be-all source for everything. Hence, it's not going to give answers for planetary mechanics, astrophysics, or DNA sequencing.
