A large number of Christians hold to the theory that the Song of
Solomon was written as a parable of Christ and the church, however I
and many others consider the Song of Solomon to have been written as a
romantic poem about two quite human young lovers.

But, I think it OK for a Christian to use it as a parable. I do not.

Without a doubt my statement that "Jesus is Michael" is an implicit
Bible teaching but when all the evidence is weighed one cannot come to
any other more likely conclusion. A "spirit being" is a creature
created for the spirit realms- heaven. Angels, cherubs, etc....God is
also a spirit being (although not a spirit creature)

So what astronomy related information in the Bible do you refer to?
Offhand, I can't really think of much. Some Jews believe the Star of
Repham (Hagen David) was an arrangement of stars when David came out of
the cave after finding Saul, but I don't think that's in the Bible.
Wormwood? The Star of Bethlehem? Joshua and the sun standing still (or
the Earth stop rotating)? Genesis 1? The preiods of darkness in Egypt
and Judea? There, I just exhausted all I could think of offhand that I
would think would be "astronomy related", though I guess you could
count some of the plauges of Revelation.
