The precession of the constellations is an observable astronomical phenomenon for at least 2000 years. I have no way of verifying whether it was active at creation or before the flood, but I do not see why not, since they glorify the ages of God. Why do you think creation is a myth?

Yes, but it doesn't have much to do with the Bible. What about it?

Why would God be so emotionally insecure as to need to be glorified?

As written, in The Bible, it makes not sense to me. Other writings do make sense.
There is too much blind faith involved, it just doesn't work for me.

I am not sure yet, I am just starting to get a feel for reading it. I never start on page one, I go back to it and read, but I don't start there.
''Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.'' - Philippians 4:8
I do not restrict my reading to the Bible, but I try to restrict my theology to the Bible. The theology of the Bible is most simple of all. There is only one God - the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is much more to the Bible than this theology. You have the origin of the universe, planets, stars, plants, animals, humans, death, sin, clothing, languages, nations, the history of the Israelites, the divine Law, books of wisdom and poetry, the Psalms of David with which we worship, the prophecies of the four kingdoms, the promises of the messianic age etc.

What gender is the Bible? Sexual orientation is probably Bi. 
Yesterday, today and tomorrow (for he never changes) - he was, and he is, and he will be the Father of whom are all things.
God is not insecure and doesn't need anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything - Acts 17:25. But you perhaps may reject to give glory to God as if by hating your existence. Don't worry, there is a warm place for you.
You haven't read the Bible, because it doesn't seem to make sense to you, did I understand you correctly? What exactly doesn't make sense to you?
What exactly makes sense in Sepher Yetzirah - name me one thing. Even very young children understand the creation in Genesis.

In my native language it is feminine.
The word Bible doesn't occur in the Bible.

Since God determines what happens after death, and doesn't require glorification, there's no penalty for not glorifying God.

The Latin word "Biblia" is the plural form, meaning "books", and isn't feminine.
If you are not glorifying the God, you are glorifying something else and you are an idolater. For it is impossible for anyone alive not to glorify something. There is penalty for idolatry.
''For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.'' - Romans 1 ESV

You didn’t read it correctly. I have only started reading it, I cannot give an uninformed opinion.
I have read many of the Dead Sea Scrolls, fromThe Nag Hamadi’s, from The Other Bible and other sources of ancient writing. The New Testement, is as at says, new.
I have talked with you, as has Waybread, as has Leomoon, as has David, and others. You are very firm in your beliefs. So are we. I do not come to an astrological site to debate Christianity, I am here to discuss the astrological content of ancient history and writings.
I have limited time to spend discussing things that pertain to what I do believe, that I don’t feel it necessary to repeatedly be drawn into, conversations that I have had with many others, and find inaccurate and limiting to learning ancient history.
What exactly draws you to an astrological site to discuss Christianity? Do you prefer to try and find sheep that are looking for it’s “way”?
You would probably find it more satisfying to talk to people on a Christian site, as most of us would prefer to explore the other writings uninhibited by hellfire and tribulation of a time that is past.
I have had many experiences with Christianity, most of them were unpleasant. The writings of the New Testament are nice stories, but I don’t enjoy talking ancient history with them, because they are incapable of doing it. It goes against their beliefs. Which is fine, but neither do I wish to waste my time debating it.
Back to reading, my style. Right now, mundane astrology, to discuss the ages, with David and Leomoon.
Worship and living for something (devotion). So if God tells you to sacrifice your son, you would do it, because God tells you to do it, and your opinion does not matter.

Scary! Suppose a mentally impaired father these days was hearing what he believed was the "voice of God" in his head?
