This is a pre-scientific cosmology. [Sounds like paganistic hodgepodge to me? Greek legend?] What is it based Do you also want us to believe that the sun, moon, and stars used to hang right above the globe and then suddenly were blown out into space and expanded exponentially so that we could still see them sometime during that flood? [ Did I say the cosmos had some kind of blow job? No. All I said was the water canopy is possible when we have it in the influence of the greater universal laws, rather than the box.]

Show me some science that precludes the complete universe? All you can show is an ineptness that is cosmically comical, if you try to limit all to the box. |

And to Christianity than atheists ever could.
lucaspa used to be fond of saying it: creationists are the militant atheists' best friends.

Oh nooes!1 [Yes, has a nice ring to it]
If you can back it up with anything other than your assertion, then do so. As it stands right now, your claim has no credibility other than simply taking your word for it. [God's word counts for something, and He indicates the physical only will pass away. He indicates a spiritual is real, He even admits to being a spirit!. Billions believe in a spiritual as well, and with a billion good reasons. To deny it, has no credibility other than simply taking your word for it. ]

But your only reason for thinking that a 'split' occured is that your interpretation of genesis violates the laws of physics, and that your intepretation cannot be wrong. So (in your mind) physics must be wrong. |

The spirit world is also, as I say, known time immemorial, throughout history as well! True, this latest clue, and application of rock solid principles was a result of thinking about the flood. 2+2=4 So a known source of water from above, minus physical only science limitations, + God's Own word, and man's own experience, = a pre split complete laws at work. Simple] and that your intepretation cannot be wrong. So (in your mind) physics must be wrong. [Not at all, it is right, where it applies, in the box!]
Now consider this formula well, as it contains a key of understanding that can help unlock real mysteries. |

The part that said "the heaven of fire for greeks and others" must have threw me. It was not a bible based picture, as I can see? It is one interpretive leaning, that I doubt was embraced by those with the Spirit of God. |

What? This is precisely the vision you would have us believe! This is your firmament! Now all of a sudden it's not biblical?
And it is found in the Bible. That's what the expanse in Genesis 1:6-8 is. The Hebrews did not understand science. This proves it.
I'm not sure what you mean by "interpretive leaning." If think this picture is unique, it may help you to know that every picture of Hebrew cosmology I've seen resembles this, and this is the same cosmology that I learned in my ancient literature class. This is for real. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
