The firmament was the space from the surface of the earth up to the surrounding water canopy (of unspecified thickness), beyond which, extended the cosmos. This "firmament" area could be considered as a "universe" in the sense that this comprised the area that was used by all life forms in the world.

In light of colophon and "TOL-E-DOT" research: Adam was not just a detail in the Genesis account, but the writer of its initial chapters; the later, off-shoot, accounts of the Genesis precedent by the Babylonians, for instance, present "parallels" in their typical pagan fashion. This "fashion" is described in the web cite that you provided for me in you response. The inferior perspective of the pagan culture did indeed host some wierd ideas about how the universe was forged. The oldest account of the structure of the universe, the Genesis narrative, however, is not dependent on pagan perspectives relative to their take on the nature of the "firmament."

Before I respond to the subject matter, I have some usage concerns about this cite that I'd like some advice about. Will the quote option icon for responding to someone's message, work for longer messages; it would't quote your whole message for me. And once quoted, how do you get the nifty final effect of the quotations your responding to, set off by border lines? I trust that there are simple answers to these concerns. Thank you.

To the left is a link that reads *UBB Code is ON. Click on it, and you'll find your answers.
I couldn't find this.
I haven't had any trouble with quote length, though I try to keep them short.
I responded to your message even though I couldn't get your text to transfer.
