You can see a curved horizon in the sky?
Wha?
You can not see a curved horizon in the sky at ground level. I really think you need to take a walk outside a little more often..... You look into the sky and (from ground level) it appears to have no end. I really think you are not thinking this through.
and then they had to guess at where the water comes from when it's raining, and instead of knowing what we know today, that rain is formed from the water below, they assumed that a vat of water had to exist above "the dome" that produced the rain.
Genesis 1& 2 were written after what was written about was gone. What we see there is not the way things are today. Thorns and thistles did not exist in that world. Moses was shown the past by means of the Holy Spirit.
lol, I'm taking too much out of the text, than can actually be taken out of it!!?? Have you visited a YEC website recently?
No...... YEC's and me do not get along too well. I see them as missing many things in the details that allude them.
I'm adding nothing to the text, I'm just placing myself in the time of the Writers of the bible, who would did not have knowledge of things future (aside from a few prophecies of course). Just as someone of old who assumed the sun was some kind of fire, burning fuel, because he at his time had no knowledge of nucleur energy.
Nuclear fusion is a form of fire... An atomic explosion is referred to as a "fireball."
It was one of my teachers who asked us why Genesis writes of water above the dome, and the separation of the water above from below, and none of has had to really think about this, because we all knew the most rational explanation, and that's the one that I just presented here.
One class I am glad I missed.
Yes, they thought there was an "ocean"/a large mass of water above the sky.
We do not know how massive it was... That is conjecture.
Genesis 1: 6 -8 niv
"And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day."
You can tell how massive that water was above?
Yes, the form that they saw it in, was sinful.
Homosexuality was universally accepted in that time. Why should they suddenly develop a sense of repulsion? The reason they needed to be told not to do it, and even tag on the death penalty, was because it was seen as a norm which was acceptable in many cultures.
Just as how, these writers saw pigs eating their own feces, and became disgusted by this, that they wrote god finds eating pigs deplorable. They saw homosexuality as a disgusting sexual act, and nothing more, just as they saw men having long hair as unnatural, and ungodly.
They did? You know this for a fact?

There are many things, that we would find "immoral" such as slavery, that the bible for the most part advocated. Now, we would find all forms of slavery "immoral", even if it adhered to the standards the bible advocated.
Slavery still exists in the world today. Where it exists, they obviously do not see it as immoral.

The bible never takes the liberty of openly condeming slavery, and this allows figures such as Jefferson Davis, to say:
"[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts.", and you cannot from a Biblical based opposition to this.
Revelation does say that slavery will exist at the time of Christ's return. It does exist today. But, not in our culture.
Revelation 13:16 niv
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead."
Now, how does a society, move from this, to where we are now, in believing all forms of "slavery" are immoral?
Likewise! Not all cultures see homosexuality as being immoral. Yet, most modern cultures have been seeing homosexuality in the same manner as slavery. Immoral.
Why doesn't the bible go on ahead of us, and say slavery is "immoral", long before we did?
Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so.
1 Corinthians 7:21 niv
"Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so."
But see, homosexuality works in the reverse. Here an earlier society finds it inherently "immoral", while later societies find many homosexual relationships to be "moral".
You have it backwards. The term "Greek" was used to mean homosexual.
The writers of the bible did not foresee two men in a monogamous, loving and committed relationship, going to church on sundays, tending to the weak, and pretty much living as high a moral standard as a good christian heterosexual couple.
You bet they did not see that. It took Satan about 2000 years to get that sort of charade in motion.
Today we don't view homosexuality by the sexual act, the sexual act is insignificant, in how we view homosexuals, while the writers of the Bible only saw or knew of the "sexual act.", they deplored the act, unaware that two men could love.
You like to make up stuff as you go along?
