have you ever gotten a reading from a medium?

@BlueSkyKing Mm, but solar eclipses were magical before they were science.

@Graylight No. They didn’t know the exact cause but some people did painstakingly observations, so eclipses became fully predictable. Dates and locations can be calculated a thousand years in the past and future.

Same with the tides. Ancient and modern mariners knew when and how strong they are. Planning accordingly.

@BlueSkyKing They didn't always know. Are you suggesting ancient humans had implicit knowledge we now lack?

And yes, eclipses have a long, storied history as religious portents.

@Graylight I said there were ancient people that did the work. They observed and recorded positions of the stars and solar bodies. Then made the connections. If you owned a ship, knowing the tides was important.

@BlueSkyKing You are way off point now . Prove the the Bible has worthwhile scientific principles in it. Prove mankind has always known about the tides and other inextricable effects of science, even as he was migrating out of the desert.

@Graylight What are you talking about? All I said was there were people, mostly astrologers, that did observations. Nothing bible related. The moon is responsible for most of the tides.

@BlueSkyKing um... Well.. how to say this? I may have been in a "lifted" mood last night and not at my most focused... 🥴
