SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the hypothesis that the Biblical 'pre-flood' firmament was a layer of water orbiting approximately 1720 miles above Earth. The calculations presented suggest that this firmament could have been between 13 to 50 feet thick, impacting the conditions of rainfall and atmospheric behavior prior to the flood. The author argues against the vapor canopy theory, asserting that a warm layer of water would lead to dew rather than rain, and provides equations to support the orbital dynamics of the firmament. Critics challenge the feasibility of such a structure and its implications on historical accounts of the flood.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Newton's law of gravitation
- Familiarity with orbital mechanics and satellite dynamics
- Basic knowledge of fluid dynamics and atmospheric science
- Awareness of Biblical accounts and their interpretations in scientific discourse
- Research the implications of Lambert's law on light propagation through water layers
- Study the dynamics of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and their atmospheric interactions
- Explore the historical context of flood narratives in various cultures
- Investigate the scientific basis for the vapor canopy theory and its critiques
This discussion is beneficial for theologians, physicists, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of science and religious texts, particularly those examining the feasibility of ancient cosmological models.
