pete said I obviously preferred a tame lion. And suggested I cherry picked the Bible.

So I went to see if he had used the quote appropriatly.

Lewis, though widely read, had very little, if anything, to say about geology or palaentology, and used astrological ideas rather than cosmological ones when dealing with things outside the orbit of the Moon.

He is not really relevant when discussing things like the way that light from the galaxies visible through telescopes clearly began its journey to our eyes before the Biblical date of the creation as determined by Ussher. Or that the far side of the Moon, out on the celestial side, untouched by the sin which destroyed the perfection of our world, is as pockmarked as the near side, barring the absence of basaltic floods.

To try and get things back on track.
