1. You moved the goalposts, so no, I won't name one.Afraid to name one eh?
2. You already admitted you don't know what allegory is so it would be pointless anyway.

And yet you haven't named one.....Don't be so coy. Somebody like you who knows so much more than everyone else must know there are hundreds of passages in the Bible where science doesn't support the claims. Most of Genesis, much of Exodus or any miracle are obvious examples.
And the ant accelerates outwards as the balloon expands and carries the ant with it..... as every ant on its surface accelerates away from every other ant on its surface as the balloon expands. As a boat is carried along with a non-turbulent flow of the river and sees no movement with respect to the river, yet still carries the increase in energy imparted by the flow of water. Yet those on the boat without being able to see land would swear they were stationary, since no motion could be detected relative to the flow of water (spacetime)....Time dilation happens when objects move through space. My understanding is that the expansion of the universe is an expansion of spacetime itself, and since the space isn't moving through space, the time dilation wouldn't happen.
It's the difference between an ant crawling on the surface of a balloon and inflating the balloon.

How about the 80th Psalm?If people try to minimize the reality of Scripture by tossing out the word allegory, it is appropriate to ask for an example....regardless of where you think imaginary goal posts are.
In that chapter it seems to be talking about the state of Israel, His people. Then it is compared to a flock, and etc.How about the 80th Psalm?
"Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it..."
Look at the text I posted, Ps 80:8. God brought a real, actual grape vine from Egypt and dug a hole and planted it (besides whatever he did for the Hebrew people) or the 80th Psalm is a "foolish lying story."In that chapter it seems to be talking about the state of Israel, His people. Then it is compared to a flock, and etc.
There are many spiritual truths we could derive from the comparisons. The main thing though is that I doubt someone would say that there was no Israel, no people of God. I enjoy poetic and spiritual comparisons that add depth to the description. In no way does this take away from the reality that there was a people in tough times and crying out for God in need.
What would it take away? Be Specific.Now if someone was to try and take Adam and Eve and claim that was some allegory or that there was no actual tree, and etc etc etc...that is a very different thing. That would be taking away from the meaning and story.

Yes the ant would, just as the river imparts it’s energy to the boat, so spacetime would impart it’s energy to the ant.But time dilation in this analogy would be caused by the rate that the ant moves across the balloon's surface. If the ant is standing still, even while the balloon is inflating, the ant would not experience time dilation.
Yes the ant would, just as the river imparts it’s energy to the boat, so spacetime would impart it’s energy to the ant.
The ant moving across the surface just adds another acceleration. As the boat applying power would add another acceleration to what already existed separate from the flow of the river.
You only want to account for the energy from the additional acceleration, but refuse to account for the energy imparted by the flow of the river (spacetime).....
You can’t feel the existing acceleration as Einstein tried to tell you in his enclosed elevator accelerating. The ant is simply moving along with the expansion and so has its energy imparted to him as he is carried along. Just like the boat on the river.
The whole chapter from verse one is about His people starting with Joseph in Egypt. The vine is Israel that came out of Egypt. There is no mystery there.Look at the text I posted, Ps 80:8. God brought a real, actual grape vine from Egypt and dug a hole and planted it (besides whatever he did for the Hebrew people) or the 80th Psalm is a "foolish lying story."

Something, or it wouldn’t be moving, would it.....But the river is moving relative to the shore. If the universe is expanding, what is it moving relative to?
How’s that since your story is the river is flowing in all directions, so there is only downstream. Hey, it’s not my story.....And we can imagine a situation where your boat in the river is chugging upstream at the same rate that the current carries it down, and so the boat remains still in relation to the shore. Your argument would suggest that I could do something similar in a rocketship - go out in space, and fly in just the right direction at just the right speed and remain still while the universe expands around me.
Really? Then why do you keep insisting this frame is an absolute frame?????But that would require an outside frame of reference, and Einstein showed that this idea of absolute motion is wrong, as there IS no fixed frame of reference.
The OP talks of a bible verse explaining man cannot possibly comprehend the end or the beginning. How can you argue with that? That old pretense of some evidence (for heaven knows what) really grew old a long time ago. Sorry to have to break the news to you.Just waiting for your evidence...

And if you could, you would still be accelerating to keep stationary. And as Relativity told you, one can not tell which object is in actual motion, so you would never know.....

Why keep insisting that only the ants absolute motion through space would only matter?
I sense confliction Kylie....

Burden of proof is with the one making the claim. OP says man cannot do something, so that's where the burden of proof lies.I would say the burden of proof is in saying man CAN comprehend the beginning or end. Let alone hundreds of billions of galaxies.
It doesn't matter what people with no arguments argue for no apparent rhyme. Perhaps you could admit that the bible says that about man's ability to know?I argue with that by saying that it is just a story and not real.
If you disagree, prove me wrong.
