Ep. 3: Waters Above the Firmament — We Have Questions. God Has Patience. (Genesis 1:6-8)
from Bible Overthinker · host Bible Overthinker
Episode 3. Genesis 1:6-8 introduces something called the firmament — and waters above it. The problem? There are no waters above our atmosphere. So what is the Bible talking about? Anthony brings the Hebrew, the ancient Near Eastern background, and a handful of theories ranging from genuinely fascinating to deeply concerning. Marlen brings her honest reaction to all of it. We explore the canopy theory, the celestial plumbing theory, the cosmic aquarium theory, and more. We didn’t fully resolve it. God has patience. Fortunately for us, He has a lot of it. Bible Overthinker — assuming inerrancy, asking everything else.
