Well it does not say "liquids called waters" as we both know.
It says this -
Gen:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was
hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that
it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Then God said, “
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it
divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the firmament, and
divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Then God said, “
Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the
dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry
land Earth, and
the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that
it was good.
So clearly the waters when gathered together are what the Bible calls "seas". Not a big surprise as I am sure we would both agree
Praise God no text says "He inserted a solid wedge into the waters". You may consider that detail to be "inconvenient" at this point - but I find it refreshing all the same.
Praise God that no text says "God flooded the land in Noah's day by opening windows in the heavens (in the crystalline firmament)".
You may consider that detail to be "inconvenient" at this point - but I find it refreshing all the same.
Instead of that - the Bible actually says
Gen 7:"11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
Gen 8: The fountains of the deep and
the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.

"Cloudburst" is a common term
And here is another easy text to read without getting into silicates, or crystals or bars, or boxes etc
Ezek 1
4 Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness
was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also from within it
came the likeness of four living creatures. And this
was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
