FLAT or ROUND Earth?

[Jipsah]

​

The Bible is a book about past events, but also a book that makes statements about future events.

Which covers pretty much... everything.

Nothing yet has came true, except the reestablishment of Israel. But most believers believe these events are approaching.

Depends on which events you're on about. I don't really expect to see 200,000,000 troops marching off to war anywhere, riding magic horses or otherwise. Even if anybody had that many people under arms, keeping them, never mind their mounts, fed and watered and supplied with all the necessities on a long route march would be impossible. "Oh, but the Chinese...". No, not even the Chinese.

So The Bible is no interest to scientist, but as a believer i am curious as to how science will approach this.

They'll approach stuff by studying it. That's what scientists do.

i am not sure as this time will be unlike any other time.

100 lb hail would be unlike any other time.

 

[Jipsah]

Science doesn't make "official statements".

If I was science, I would.

Lol'z God doesn't chuck stones at the earth. From time to time we find bits of the firmament called sky stones. They consist of 77% Oxygen with trace amounts of Silicon, Carbon,

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

Yeah, that's just absolutely false and an outright lie.

Why didn't you quote the whole analysis:

The stone is made up of 77 percent oxygen, 20 percent carbon and lime. Traces of silicone and other materials were also found.

Its composition was found to be composed of 77% oxygen, along with traces of carbon, silicon, calcium and sodium. The composition makes the 'Sky Stone' similar to a kind of concrete or stucco, and seems to have been artificially colored.

Spectrography indicates that the sky stone micro-tile was cast from a silica-based geopolymer mixture consisting of rice husk ash (93% microsilica SiO2) and indigo pigment added to sodium hydroxide solution.

The sky stone spectrograph identified 6.39% silicon and 0.46% aluminum --a ratio of over 12 (Si : Al = 12.6), further confirming the gepolymeric origin of sky stone as a caustic slurry of microsilica and indigo powders.

IOW - It's a manmade hoax for people on the interwebs to fall for as some mystic stone.

King James Bible
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

The question @Jipsah keeps asking: What ever a firmament is.
So what IS a firmament?

Pitoni sent the stone for analysis to laboratories in Rome, Germany, and Tokyo. The analysis revealed that the stone consisted of 77% oxygen, 20% carbon, and lime, with traces of silicon and other materials. Researchers concluded that the composition of the rock was unlike any other found on Earth, suggesting an extraterrestrial origin.

Then they're pretty bad reseachers when, spectrography indicates that the sky stone micro-tile was cast from a silica-based geopolymer mixture consisting of rice husk ash (93% microsilica SiO2) and indigo pigment added to sodium hydroxide solution.

Rice-husk ash and indigo pigment aren't exactly extra-terrestrial materials. Don't fall for the hoax.

It's a hoax. Not that you care since you're just a contrarian. No matter how big the lie, as long as it supports your ideas about the Bible, then nothing to it.

 

[Apple Sky]

So what IS a firmament?

Well according to God the firmament is what he set the two great lights and all the stars in.

 

[Apple Sky]

Then they're pretty bad reseachers

I'd say pretty accurate though.

 

[tharkun73]

Well according to God the firmament is what he set the two great lights and all the stars in.

If they were set in something solid they wouldn't move independently of each other as they do.

 

[tharkun73]

I'd say pretty accurate though.

They weren't accurate at all though. Did you even read the rest of the analysis? Rice-husk ash and indigo coloring. Did God grow some rice, burn it and then toss it into the sky? C'mon!

This is what they make sky stone jewelry out of.

 

[tharkun73]

Yes, a hoax as has been pointed out. It's not from the 'firmament' or outer space.

 

[Apple Sky]

If they were set in something solid they wouldn't move independently of each other as they do.

How big do you think the firmament is ? Do you think that God just cemented them in to place ?

 

[Michie]

How big do you think the firmament is ? Do you think that God just cemented them in to place ?

How big do you think earth’s atmosphere is? There is no solid firmament.

 

[tharkun73]

According to what you've posted before the firmament is a solid dome. If it's solid and things are placed within it, they would be stuck in place and wouldn't move independently of each other - it has nothing to do with size, it has to do with your definition and the logical outworking of such a belief.

 

[tharkun73]

How big do you think the firmament is ? Do you think that God just cemented them in to place ?

So which is it? Is the firmament solid or is it permeable? You can't have it both ways.

That is Lapis Lazuli. Where is your 'source' stating its chemical composition?
[Edit]
So the picture on your 'source' is something totally different to the photo you first posted, although the link has a photo of more examples of Lapis Lazuli halfway down.
Your 'sources' are of the quality we have come to expect from you.

That isn't saying what the firmament is. You pointing towards what's in it, that's all.
What IS the stuff that makes the firmament a thing?
