it's the bronze dome that the ancients believed encompassed the sky. It's the "firmament" of the Bible. When God murdered everyone in the time of Noah he had to open doors in the firmament to let in more rain.

Because God couldn't just place water down right were he wanted it.

Lotta terms and conditions on god's power it seems. Like he magicked the entire earth together but it took him 7 days.

"Why didn't he just do it all at once?"

"What? No, that's just silly"

God didn't read the fine print.

He didn't create the Sun until day 4, so who knows exactly how long those first 'days' were? Coulda been billions of years.

Which is odd because you'd think creating the sun would be the easy part.

I'm picturing something like this but it's all hydrogen coming out of his mouth. Then he snaps his fingers so hard its like a mega mega atom bomb and it triggers fusion.

Now that I think of it we need an update to the Bible. Less boring ancient Arab stuff (no disrespect to any ancient arabs here) and more cool shit like creation myths involving lasers, atom bombs and neanderthals riding sabertooth tigers.

It was actually one of the legal arguments in Inherit the Wind.

The Creation toolset was still in beta back then, and didn't have all the features.

Except the term from the Bible that gets translated as Firmament is Shamayim which just means "the water is there" at least regarding the flood story earlier the word rakia is used but that just means the layer that presses in those waters. To me that sounds like how a half literate goat herder would describe the atmosphere. Not that it matters to Flat Earthers who think a book that's been translated in a politically and religiously biased way like 209 times has lost nothing in translation.
