"You are mistaken when you attribute your interpretation of stars falling to common sense. Common sense doesn't allow us to know that it wasn't 1/3 of the stars at all."

Fine believe whatever you choose, really gives me neither a negative or a positive, what others choose to believe.

What you are calling common sense (the nature of the firmament) is actually modern scientific knowledge. I can understand you disliking this, because it damages the logic and coherence of your position. I note that you didn't address the rest of my post, which explains my first sentence. If you wish to dispute my logic you need to do more than just reject the opening sentence.

Common sense is understanding, the word dragon used, is not literally speaking of a fire breathing dragon. Thus, common sense says if we are not talking about a literal dragon then we are not talking about literal "stars" being dragged by a figurative dragon.

That is allllllll I am specifically speaking about in using the phrase 'common sense'.
