Yes, nihilism, like cynicism, is a consequence of rejecting truth or authority. It sometimes takes on such nasty features that I find it difficult to listen. A person who believes in nothing, who is disappointed by life and no longer wants to be fascinated, easily becomes the plaything of all the other forces because he no longer uses his own. However, I would say that no one is really completely nihilistic or cynical (exceptions prove the rule). There is always the chance to express and behave differently, chances abound if you see them.

I am not familiar with the book of Enoch, I have downloaded it and saved it somewhere but found it difficult to begin and read. "Firmament" is therefore nothing I know about much.

BTW, If you want to see what the luminaries actually look like, there are now plenty of videos on youtube where people can zoom in using a P1000 camera.

Thank you. I might make a search:)

What else could it be though? This? LOL

Oh, you doubt the theory of evolution? That's a tough board. I'm neither particularly anti- nor pro on this, but probably lean towards the latter, but wouldn't start a fight over it. The creation story leaves a lot of room for what else man thinks.
Recently, however, I've been questioning more and more things that I always took for granted. There are good reasons why one should retain a healthy doubt that some things were turned upside down a long time ago.
