    This page says it was the Latin word used to translate a Hebrew word in Isaiah in the Vulgate, that word meaning morning star, Venus, bringer of light (there seems to have been some attached mythology that the planet Venus brought the sun up).

    Also from the link:

    Mythology

    In ancient Canaanite mythology, the morning star is pictured as a god, Attar, who attempted to occupy the throne of Ba'al and, finding he was unable to do so, descended and ruled the underworld. The original myth may have been about a lesser god Helel trying to dethrone the Canaanite high god El who lived on a mountain to the north. Similarities have been noted also with the story of Ishtar's or Inanna's descent into the underworld, Ishtar and Inanna being associated with the planet Venus. The Babylonian myth of Etana has also been seen as connected.


    Note how mythology is so closely tied in with astrology. This is how it was in the ancient world. People essentially worshiped the sky, invented myriad stories about the things they saw up there.

    Cant answer the q so you make up a falsehood that I'm anti christian, claim its me doenst know anything, and then go on to irrelevancies.

    Yup.

    So, tell me do you have the intellectual capacity to recognize the noahs ark story as fiction?

    All quite illogical, isn't it? I've never understood why the translation always switches the word order around, i.e. Greek says "The Word was with God, and God was the Word" while the translation says "The Word was with God, and the Word was God."

    :laughing: Oh boy.

    4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
    Tell me, if you understand.
    5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
    Who stretched a measuring line across it?
    6 On what were its footings set,
    or who laid its cornerstone—
    7 while the morning stars sang together
    and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

    8 “Who shut up the sea behind doors
    when it burst forth from the womb,
    9 when I made the clouds its garment
    and wrapped it in thick darkness,
    10 when I fixed limits for it
    and set its doors and bars in place,
    11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
    here is where your proud waves halt’?


    Check out verses 8 through 11 in particular. What do they tell you?

    And will you people please stop messing up the quoting? Taikoo, I'm looking at you.

    It helps to have water if you want anything beyond viruses and assorted bacteria.
