Lightning may strike a mountain repeatedly since it is the highest object around. I can tell you from personal experience that it can be terrifying to be on a mountain in an electrical storm. There is no command in the Bible to view any physical place as sacred or special. Nothing happens on mountains that is not able to be understood. In ancient Israel the people were told by God not to make sacred high places and to avoid mysticism.
Mountains are a testimony to a young or old earth .
The mountains have many stories to tell. By learning about their makeup we can tell something of how they were formed. By studying their rocks we can get some idea of the past. The existence of fossils can tell us about life that lived that is radically different than the life we see today. The history of man is rarely seen in mountains because man does not live for the most part, where rocks are produced.
