Hi Guys,
Part 3 all about Seth mainly, a little about Abraham.
Here is the START of the article from the Vatican Observatory website and the link.
It is way too long to fit on here so click the link here...

"A few weeks ago I ran a post here at Sacred Space Astronomy involving Thomas Creech’s 1714 translation into English Verse of Lucretius’s Of the Nature of Things. Creech’s book is pretty interesting. Along with its translation of Lucretius’s poem, it has lots of notes and commentary. And part of that commentary is a long discussion on the origins of astronomy.
The author of the commentary (who is not Creech) attributes the origins of astronomy to Adam and his son Seth: Adam was divinely infused with astronomical knowledge; he taught Seth, and it passed on down through Enoch and Noah and Abraham. I find this author’s presentation fascinating. I have seen passing references in history of science scholarship to “Adamic science”—the idea that God infused Adam with bucketloads of knowledge, knowledge that eroded away with the passage of time, so that an astronomer (or pretty much any other person involved in the arts or sciences) was always trying to recapture lost knowledge. However, this is the first time I’ve ever stumbled across it directly, and as soon as I saw it, I thought it would be great material to share on Sacred Space Astronomy.
If you are inclined to a literal reading of the Bible, you may well read this material, love it, and agree with the author’s take on this story wholeheartedly. On the other hand, if you are not inclined to a literal reading of the Bible, you may read this story and think it is a fable and the author a crackpot who cannot spell. If you are the latter, I recommend looking at the original text. I have edited out the hard stuff. The author of the commentary not only assumes his audience is familiar with a vast array of authors, he expects his audience to be able to read Greek and Latin as well as English. Can you? If nothing else, this work schools us modern readers about the level of education a person could have in 1714. So, read and enjoy!"
