Sure, I don’t mind having a friendly discussion. I’ll start by saying that this is my opinion, and everyone has a different opinion. So, I respect the fact that you are not religious.
Actually, I disagree with the initial premise. You have to remember that the Bible was written my men who lived like 2,000 years ago. They didn’t know what “planets” or “black holes” or “space” were. After god created light and the sea, he created lights in the sky (or stars). Those are all of the things that you are looking for. They just didn’t know what all of the “lights” were. If you are curious, this is Genesis 1:14.
Also, on a personal note, I’ve studied space a lot. I’m literally an aerospace engineer. You might be curious to hear that nothing in space conflicts with the Bible (except the belief that god is real, which can’t be proven scientifically). However, some different aspects of more modern explanations of the universe, like the Big Bang, have mathematical and theoretical problems that can’t be solved. Again, my opinion. That’s why Steven Hawkins argues that there is no beginning: he can’t explain how the beginning happens. Even models that run in an infinite loop with white holes spawning new universes would need something (or someone) to start the process...
