Please explain this from Holy Scripture.
And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
[Genesis 1:7]
Cera asked the above question. It has nothing to do with a flat Earth, it is a simple question.
We live on the Earth today. We can see the waters of the sea and the clouds.
Thus the question asked above can be answered by way of the senses.
It explains where the air that is necessary for life came from,
Is there any other Scriptural explanation of this creation?
As for a flat Earth or a global Earth, well the science of geodesy, measuring the shape of the Earth, has been practiced now for over 300 years.
Giovanni Domenico Cassini, dfefender of geocentrism, was one of the most skilled surveyors of his era, a man the popes in Rome had surveying rivers and lands to prevent flooding. So, as a true empiricist, he decided to measure the curve of the Earth as well as he could for himself in order to determine the true shape of the Earth in order to prove Newton's bulging spinning Earth was not bulge-shaped globe.
the Academy.King Louis XIV of France approved Cassini’s last great expedition. With the aid of his son Jacques Cassini (Cassini II) and others, he measured the arc of meridian (see above) from Paris north to Dunkirk and south to the boundary of Spain, and, in addition, he conducted various associated geodesic and further south astronomical operations that were reported to the Academy. The Northern hemisphere was found to be curved like the top of an egg.
In 1735, financed by King Louis XV this time, one group went to Peru under Pierre Bouguer and Charles Marie La Condamine and a year later another group went to Lapland under Maupertuis. Their findings were that the Earth is a globe. Ten years later, after measuring two baselines, one 12.2 and 10.3 kilometres (7.6 and 6.4 miles), La Condamine and his group emerged from the Amazon jungle with their mission accomplished, again confirming the Earth is a globe.
COORDINATE SYSTEMS USED IN GEODESY
BASIC DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS
By Tomás Soler and Larry D. Hothem, Member, ASCE
‘INTRODUCTION: The principal problem of geodesy may be stated as follows (Hirvonen 1960): “Find the space coordinates at any point P at the physical surface S of the Earth when a sufficient number of geodetic operations have been carried out along S.” Therefore, in order to know the position P, the definition of an appropriate frame to which these spatial coordinates refer is of primary importance.
For years now I have challenged flat earthers to show how this science can be illiminated as nonsense.
