Pro

The stars are small objects loosely attached to a solid sky (see the Jude 1:14 article for more on this). --Robert Stevens 12:22, 9 Nov 2005 (CST)

Con

Almost all of Revelation is a description of a vision John had. Its apocalyptic literature, a well-established ancient genre, where symbolic and bizarre images are the norm. (See the Apocalypse of Adam or the Animal Apocalypse for some non-Biblical examples.) Its not meant to be literal. Zeta Metroid 12:53, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
