"But they skip over the word “firmame...Hello.<br /><br />"But they skip over the word “firmament.” As anyone who consults a Biblical concordance and dictionary will discover, the Hebrew word used for firmament (raquia) refers to a thin dome of metal, beaten out by a hammer."<br /><br />The Biblical concordance dictionaries I have consulted renders רָקִ֫יעַ as "expanse" not "thin metal dome".<br /><br />"The only literalistic interpretation possible is that the entire planet was cut into two or more pieces."<br /><br />Are you familiar with Pangea theory? After the flood the continents were dispersed. This clearly indicates there was at one point one continent only. <br /><br />"This clearly indicates that the king ruled the entire land surface of the planet."<br /><br />Biblical literalism does not deny the existence of hyperbole. Believing the flood has nothing to do with saying the Bible doesn't sometimes use figurative language. <br /><br />I hope this clears up a few things. Thank you.
