Not all scripture is meant to be taken literally. Here is an example:
Psalm 50:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 for every animal of the forest is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.
It does not mean God owns the cattle on exactly one thousand hill. It means he owns all of creation.

Exactly! Thanks.
BTW, that last argument was used by John Otis in his excellent 28-part seminar found on Youtube; but accessed sequentially (without the hassle of Youtube) on his website at:

He has a well-organized study guide available for a nominal fee. I found it useful for keeping up; but it is not required. John is a Reformed Presbyterian minister. We don’t see eye-to-eye on everything, but I highly recommend his seminar.
