The Egyptians believed the sky to be made of iron. The Babylonians believed it was forged by Marduk from the hardest metal. The Greeks and Romans believed it was made of crystal.
The Hebrew normally translated as "firmament" means something that was beaten or hammered out. The concept shows up in Job and Isaiah as well. What happened to this thing since it appears to have still been around after the flood?
"On this point as on many others, the Bible simply reflects the current cosmological ideas and language of the time."

Fountains of the deep are mysterious sources of water beneath the ocean surface. Modern geology has ascribed periodic bursts to have formed the erosion patterns that we see at the edges of land masses near oceans.
Ray
1.What are these erosion patterns?
2.Where exactly are they located? Give me Lat & Long or the exact geographic location.
P.S. This is total BS

Re: A confusing experiment
Your example doesn't make much sense because you have confused weight with hydrostatic pressure. Think about it, one is measured in pounds, the other in pounds per square in. They are not the same thing.
The pressure gradient for fresh water is .433 psi per foot. A 100 ft by 100 ft by 100 ft cube of water weights a lot more than a 1 foot by 1 foot by 100 ft column of water. The hydrostatic pressure is the same at the bottom, 100 ft of height X .433 psi/ft= 43.3 psi.
When doing physics problems always put in the units and then cancel them as you would do in basic algebra. If the resulting units don't match what your answer should be in, you did something wrong.
For example if you are looking for a velocity the answer must be in feet /sec, mph or something like that. If your answer is in feet, or seconds or hours or feet /sec/.sec.....you screwed up.
Weight is measured in pounds.....pressure in psi.
Got it?
