Source of biblical flood water?

Or "awl bidness" as the old-timers call it. Me too.

Which would be Genesis 1:5-7, correct? That's what is being discussed here, simple. The firmament - the hammered-out metal dome that seperates the waters above from those below. That's what Genesis is telling about. Your notion is obviously picked up from heretical preachers whose interpretation is influenced by the demonic teachings of Copernicus and Galileo. A dome - a firmament - is PRECISELY "just like the bible says."

Oh? You quoted:
"However, originally it probably meant something solid or firm that was spread out."
"One part was below a barrier, and the other part was above."
"an expanse ... the beating out as of a plate of metal,"So thank you for digging out the scholarship that supports the "solid dome" view. And of course nobody claims that there's such a dome nowadays - Voyager would have hit it long ago. Science has shown the view of the writers of Genesis to be in error to the point that even Young-Earthers accept that there's not one: they merely claim that the plain words of Genesis mean something other than what they say.Why YEC's refuse to do the same for the age of the Earth or for evolution is a complete mystery to me.ABE: I failed to put a winky-face after the heretics comment. I'll try harder in the future.This message has been edited by Coragyps, 04-17-2005 06:42 PM

Hello, DP, and welcome.Are you sure that you're not just resting? Or maybe stunned?

Following this discussion I've noticed that you are the one that has all the "hidden meanings," Simple. Arach is reading what's there. Really - like he says - read it yourself!
