Funny how 99 percent of Christians gloss right over the firmament thing
lol
It’s literally like the first page of the Bible
The first pages of the Bible is phenomenological language. It describes creation from the perspective of an observer, not a physics textbook. The same way you say the sun rose without being a geocentrist.
“Raqia” in Hebrew means an expanse, something stretched out. The word itself implies spreading, not a solid dome. The Latin Vulgate translated it firmamentum and that’s where the confusion stuck.
