The Jews of Exodus wandering in the desert described God who led them as a 'Cloud of Smoke' by day and a 'Pillar of Fire by night'...
....How would one of us interpret the same 'fact' were we to view it with today's understanding of reality? It'll be amazing to find out.
Well, despite the 21st century, some still don't have rational enquiring minds, they prefer to adhere to ancient vague mystical accounts
from scripture as being the absolute unquestionable truth....they are not much different to those people of today who still believe mirrors
and photographs can steal their soul...and will refuse to consider a rational scientific explanation.
Belief doesn't change absolute fact. .
In the absence of fact (or simply blind to facts that are obvious), humans will tend to create all sorts of misguided convenient beliefs.
