Dear Dr. Jones,
I'll not deny
you a quick reply.......
Amazing. There are just a few fuzzy areas to clarify.
1- <The atmosphere is therefore part of the firmament.>
Does this include atmospheric water, both visible (rain,clouds) and
invisible(vapor)?
Remember, the aquasphere and atmosphere are constantly exchanging water via
rain and evaporation.
2- <the dry land may be within the firmament>
It is written:
Gen 1:9 God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be
gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so
done.
The land was below the water when the plenum was created (If the land
appeared now, it must have been created before).
My exegesis is that the plenum ends at the earth's surface, whether dry or
wet, since the land was formerly part of/under the water.
Else, if the plenum penetrates the dry land, how far does it penetrate? Sea
level? To the core? What about the lakes and rivers above sea level?
3- <There is water surrounding the boundary of this plenum.>
Could this water be frozen....ice?
4- <If this reasoning is fairly sound, then the plenum must be completely
frictionless.>
Friction is the resistance to relative motion between 2 objects in contact.
In the case of the plenum one of the objects is invisible (so far).
If this means to you that the plenum cannot slow an object down, then I
respectfully disagree .
Perhaps a little more description of 'friction' would help.
5- <there would be paths within it for the Sun, Moon, planets and stars
(just like there are channels in the ocean).>
For future discussion - not now!
Are these paths static or dynamic?
The objects listed were inserted into the plenum by God. What about those
artifacts inserted by man - satellites? Do they also have paths pre-formed
into the plenum?
Note that my questions are requests for information, not challenges.
Pax Christi,
Robert
