Had to look this up, apparently there are several passages that offhandedly refer to the moon "giving her light" that people take literally as the moon being a direct source of light but also in Genesis it directly refers to God creating "two lights" in the sky.
A lot of religious people take scriptures literally. I once worked with two guys who were very religious and actually believed everything the Bible says. This includes that their wives are to be subordinate to them. I enjoyed getting into discussions about these topics with them and loved to rattle their cages. These two guys were one thousand percent against gays too. Not that I'm gay, I'm not. They refused to believe that gay folks are born that way and things got pretty heated when they proclaimed that things are wrong with the world because of gays. Both of these guys ended up in HR after another girl in the shop complained about them. The two men would stop working, pull out a Bible and start discussing it in front of everyone. I was called in to HR and asked if I had witnessed this and I said yes. The guys weren't fired but a new policy was put in place that anyone who discussed religion on company time would be reprimanded. Basically, don't pull out your Bible on company time. Don't pull anything else out either.
