I'm thinking more and more that those who believed that the world (no, not the surface of the earth, but the world, INCLUDING the firmament) was shaped like a cone were the same ones who argued that "stretched out like a tent" precludes the firmament being semi-spherical or spherical (curved).  I'm guessing that they had this type of an image in mind (picture of Bedouin tent below).



I have no idea whether they believed there was a hemisphere at the bottom (look like a snow cone) or whether it was just flat across the bottom.  But it's clear that they would not imagine people living on the SURFACE of this cone, but rather underneath it on the flat bottom surface, exactly as those who believed it to be spherical or hemispherical did.

Finally, Dr. Sungenis opened by citing St. Ambrose (debating against some adversary that I couldn't determine from the short citation itself), adversaries who we arguing that if the earth were still and the heavens moving around it, that the waters would flow down off the top of the sphere.  They CLEARLY could not be talking about the LAND surface on which people dwell, since that would mean the water would directly contact the globe earth and that they would be submerged in water.  It's absolutely clear that he was talking about the spherical FIRMAMENT that the waters would flow off of (or not, based on his argument).

That's a cool wedge picture there.  It would be interesting to analyze all the stuff in the different layers.

Reminds me of Dante's 9 circles of hell.
