The recent failed SpaceX Starship launch flushed out the "Flat Earth" retards in droves, making "FIRMAMENT" trend on Elon Musk's X.com. Is it a psyop targeting fuckwits? Yup. Check this graphic sowing the obvious #'d BOT ACCOUNTS. Each account tweeted random Flat Earth faggotry. INFORMATION WARFARE!

word translation: heaven/firmament - the most vague interpretation. The most basic is bracelet. A hoop.
Earth was created in an impact according some and that impact accounts for the the bracelet like hoop of debris from the event - The asteroid belt. Our moon accreted the debris around our planet after the event, Earth is the biggest chunk left over from the impact, the shattered bits formed the asteroid belt - this is a legitimate model that accounts for current solar system according to certain studies...
So the bible describes the truth, as an impact event. That is the moment of the creation of earth - as the bracelet (firmament) is created at the same time, from an impact "God [like force] "hovering" over the waters [of the source planet]"
Heaven (bracelet=asteroid belt) and earth (the chunk left over).
This cosmology maps onto other folk beliefs like Sumerian. Lots of religions talk about battles in heaven or between gods - which maps onto modern understanding so well it forces you to consider it as the explanation.
Here’s what the Bible says
https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Genesis-Chapter-1/
6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:20: "“Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”
Oops, it's the atmosphere
Did you ever consider that the firmament doesn't have to be around the Earth - it could be the Universe border/barrier.
6waters means several things here, first space, the asteroid belt divides the inner and outer solar system (waters)
10here is described the Earth gravitationally accumulating the water that covered the planet that was the source material for earth, gaining seas.
The Bible does not describe a random and chaotic impact event coincidentally creating our planet (which is a silly notion; chaos does not beget order). The Bible describes the Sovereign Creator of All making the Earth according to His design.
The latter is the best explanation because God is real and Christ is Lord. The former sucks because it completely removes God from the equation in all but name.
Genesis 1:20: "“Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”
Oops, it's the atmosphere
This is actually a compelling argument for the "firmament" not being solid, as the flat-Earthers claim it is. How else would the birds "fly across the face" of it? Are they sliding along the underside of the dome? Doesn't really sound like flying to me.
Seems quite clear that means the atmosphere, as you point out. "and let birds fly above the Earth and in the presence of the atmosphere of the heavens" seems to be a valid translation based on my brief look at the Strong's Concordance for the word translated as "face" in the actual verse. And obviously, firmament would be atmosphere.
Very tactical application of scripture here.
Earth still wasn't made in a chaotic impact event, though ;)
Sorry—what was impacted, again?
Umm... Sumerians did not believe in a flat Earth. In fact, we have unearthed some mind-blowing clay tablets from their era, tablets that claim to show a list of all the "north stars" that change around one galactic year
Correct the Sumerians did not believe in FE - I am not suggesting they did. To the Sumerians Earth was created in a celestial "battle"
jupiter cut off saturn's balls. it's really pretty simple when phrased correctly.
The problem with this theory is that the Moon is only about 60% the density it should be to make this work. It's roughly 2% the volume of Earth, but 1.2% of its mass. If the Earth/Moon impact theory were true, they would have identical densities, since they'd be made of the same stuff.
Bulk of the moon was foreign object, small planet or moon of something else prior is the thought, not that it is entirely made from the impact, just that it accreted some debris (hence craters).
