Its funny how the stars ( the rest of theThe moon is not always present in the night sky to 'rule' it. (Otherwise, solar eclipses such as the recent partial one could not occur.)
Its funny how the stars (the rest of the universe) is like an afterthought to the main show.
I personally look at Genesis in an allegorical manner.The word of God says:
Genesis 1:16: 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.
Falsely so called science says:
The moon does not have light. The sun's light is reflected off the moon surface.
So which do creationists believe? Are you really going to "adapt" God's word to aethiest science unscientific explanations? No man has gone past the firmament (they tried to in Genesis and God confounded them).
Who are you parodying?The word of God says:

Genesis 1:16 (stated from man's perspective on earth) (not God's perspective) states in a simplistic manner that the sun was the reason for daylight, and that the moon ruled at night.The word of God says:

That's not true.Genesis 1:16 (stated from man's perspective on earth) (not God's perspective) states in a simplistic manner that the sun was the reason for daylight, and that the moon ruled at night.
During the day the moon cannot be seen.
You are arguing against foolish bible- interpretation,Genesis 1:16 (stated from man's perspective on earth) (not God's perspective) states in a simplistic manner that the sun was the reason for daylight, and that the moon ruled at night.
During the day the moon cannot be seen. And during the night the sun cannot be seen. That requires a spherical earth.
By observation alone it's known that the moon shines when the sun's rays reach around the sphere to the moon, and reflect the sunlight.. throughout a month the light reflects in phases half, quarter, and full then the new moon (no reflection) begins the new month.
The new moon plays a big part at the time of one of God's appointed dates to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, the day and hour that no one knows. The sliver light reflecting on the new moon signals the beginning of the Feast. So observation matters a great deal.
When Nimrod was building the tower (of babel), he wasn't trying to go beyond a firmament that wasn't there at that time because all of the water in it had been emptied out in the deluge flood of Noah. The terrarium effect was over. The earth from that time on has weather activity, in seasons.
God lives beyond our solar system, beyond the reaches of the universe.. so Nimrod could not hope to build a tower that reached beyond the atmosphere of the earth to space.
For the people of that era.. the height of heaven was the height of the sky, not any firmament. All mention in verses after Noah's flood uses the word heaven to describe the heights.. not firmament to describe a limit to the heights.
The cultures of that time built their temples on the height of mountains where the clouds formed because they considered the clouds to be where the gods lived. We know from scripture that the principalities of satan have their headquarters at that place where the firmament used to be. Satan is called "the prince of the powers of the air". It is from there that Daniel's angel fought against those demons for 21 days.
Nimrod was only intending to build his tower to the height of the clouds. Somewhere in either Ezek or Isa a verse talks about having a place in the heights of the North. A compass direction on earth. A compass direction because of a spherical earth.
God didn't stop Nimrod from building the tower to keep him from reaching heaven where God resides. That is plain impossible. God stopped Nimrod because of their rebellion, organization and unity by their words in agreement. So God confused their languages so they couldn't agree anymore. Nimrod's kingdom crumbled, his rulership stopped, and God's will of the people scattering across the land was accomplished.
Satan's experiment in Nimrod failed completely.
Doesn't seem very likely.-
The moon is a light, that gives off its own light and has been created by God as a light for the night.

Quite an odd coincidence that the part that is lit up agrees with its position with respect to the Sun at all times.
Feel free to point out any observations that dispute this clockwork regularity that has been observed for thousands of years.

Nope. The light from the moon has the spectrum of the light from the Sun including the spectral lines that would indicate that it is 5800 K.The moon is a light, that gives off its own light
Fair enough. I am curious though by what means you disregard the contrary facts. Not contrary opinions, or contrary beliefs, but facts that you can verify directly by yourself. Can you (pun intended) shed some light on how you do that?-Since our belief about the moon is as far apart as beliefs can, there is no need to state any differences. As you will not believe my beliefs and i will never believe your beliefs.

Evidently the @Ophiolite pun went right over your head.-What facts are these. You yourself, could not even prove to me standing out in a park, field, etc.. that the moon is a sphere. All you could prove is the moon is circular.
There's various ways to put it.Fair enough. I am curious though by what means you disregard the contrary facts. Not contrary opinions, or contrary beliefs, but facts that you can verify directly by yourself. Can you (pun intended) shed some light on how you do that?

The issue is about the moon's light.
I'm sure you were aware there was a total eclipse of the sun visible in some parts of your country recently.
Care to explain why darkness occurred at totality if the moon gives off its own light?
Unbelievable, do you realise you are destroying your argument the moon gives off its own light?-The glow of light that surrounds this full moon, that can be seen at night when viewing a full moon.

Where is the same glow of light from the moon in a crescent phase. According to you there is a full moon on the side facing away from the viewer. So why is the light from the full moon side not being seen, this light seems to magically disappear.
