Can't the firmament be absolutely real without necessitating that the earth is flat?
Why do people push the flat earth thing?
Why don't I see any alternate earth theories that include a firmament but also have a curved earth?
That to me seems very plausible. That we're able to reach about ISS level height before hitting the firmament, and all the Elon Musk spacex launches and Operation Fishbowl are about never being able to puncture that firmament height.

the firmament is real but it covers all of space-time. that’s why space is flat. should be flat universe theory

>Why don't I see any alternate earth theories that include a firmament but also have a curved earth
Because a curved earth isn't biblical.
That said, the earth isn't necessarily flat, either.
The bible talks about the four corners of the earth in multiple places, which would allow for it to be a tetrahedron.

how about you just abandoned your stupid bullshit ancient religion and stop trying to make it work with our modern scientific understanding of the world.

I make it work so you're wrong. Like Genesis and revelation are symbolic myth encodings of the origin from africa around blombos which is where Eden was and the Toba super eruption that made us leave after the expanse of land on south Africa was flooded after a glacial melt cycle. All myth encodes this in some form or another. Science has simply been tracing what myth describes the experience of to label it with technical language. There is a bridge and it's a very bright one so buckle into your self so you don't burn up.

the difference being that science is actually backed by evidence, and if there was evidence to the contrary, some other scientist would have already published it. Scientists are literally constantly trying to disprove each other and actually have to back up their claims instead of just making wild schizo connections and running with it. If there was actually enough evidence to overturn a scientific idea, other scientists would jump at the opportunity to disprove them

I think we should bring back the geocentric model where the planets and stars are embedded in giant rotating spheres made of aether for its aesthetic value.

OP here.
I just spent a few hours on this and this might be basic info but it's news to me-
There's footage of the Artemis mission re-entering and the video says the capsule reached 4000 degrees Farenheit from the 'friction with the atmosphere' on the way down.

Similarly you can see launch vids and reentry vids where they rockets def visually look like they're hitting a barrier at a certain height, and puncturing through it and it creates a crazy splash against the 'atmosphere'.

Therefore I could definitely see an argument for this atmosphere, which already is basically a physical barrier since it creates splashes and burning from friction when things collide with it, being the firmament.
Therefore- Science supports the existence of this firmament, and they are just calling it a different name.
Why wouldn't this be the firmament? Accepting all counterarguments

not even the way science works. cause and effect are empirical. anyone can demonstrate cause and effect, everyone has empirical observation.

The atmosphere is like a big pool of water. If you think the firmament is also like a pool of water when you say "barrier", that is fine.
But most people think of a wall, or something solid, or something that isnt over a large volume. And that is wrong.
The atmosphere is an ocean, just an ocean of gas.

The concave earth theory does have a spherical firmament. In fact i believe it has one glass firmament above earth at 62 miles height, and another one later which contains the miniaturized universe inside another presumebly glass-like firmamoid thingy. And between them is where the wandering stars are (sun, moon, ...). I won't post it right now because i already did in the other thread but yeah.

Other than that there is also a slightly modified flat earth theory which posits that earth is slightly curved like a bowl t hold the water, if that counts. But its still generally considered a flat earth map.

I am not sure if there are any serious proponents of saddle earth theory and i am not familiar with any other shapes, but i imagine it would be hard to place a firmamwnt over a saddle. There might be genuine proponents of torus earth theory, actually, but its so fringe that the firmament is the least of their concerns. At that point you can just make up whatever you like as you go. Firmament or not, fuck it we roll.
>>
>>42371756
Science makes predictions. We know it works because it makes provable predictions about reality.
You are not doing science, you’re just a dumbass believing memes you read on the internet. You obviously can’t make empirical observations properly if you believe in a fucking firmament.

Right, well here's the other thing- I don't think the Bible even says you *can't* leave the firmament.

From what I can see... the firmament could be the atmosphere... and it's technically possible to go through it without violating Biblical verse...

atmosphere means air plus sphere. air doesnt take the shape of a sphere, air fills whatever container its in
firmament is the container for gas pressure. gas needs a container.

demonstrate gas pressure without containment before you ask why it needs a container.

if you take a flaccid piece of paper and blow air above it, it goes up because you are reducing the relative pressure at the top compared to below. so this uncontained gas pushes the paper up (bernoulli's principle).

There is this concept in science fiction called planetary shielding.
There's a building that emits/projects a shield up and around itself, and if it's of sufficient strength and has enough generators around the world, that shield will project around the entire planet.
That's the irony of flat earth, many people support the flat earth idea because they fail to recognise the practicality of a 3D shield.
In fact they don't even recognise the fact that the magnetosphere is literally a planetary shield, albeit electromagnetic and not a lid of frozen oxygen.
That's besides the possibility that the planet is a sphere but far bigger than the little crater we're inhabiting with a lid on it.

I feel like one is incompatible with the other, because the firmament is supposed to sit upon the "4 corners of the earth", what would keep the firmament "up" so to speak.
A ball within a ball seems kind of silly no?
From my understanding the firmament is supposed to be a more or less impenetrable barrier that goes beyond physics, or at least our physics, maybe it exists in one of the higher dimensional spaces and we simply can't see it. I've seen videos of "space flights" where the rockets seem to be scraping along something
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qaWr9hg6YDQ

Also, if we're going by the bible, it states that it holds the "waters above" which is how the earth was flooded, so any firmament would have water beyond it, not "space". I haven't looked too into it but I've heard many other religions have a similar thing of "waters above" as well as the notion of it being flat and stationary.
I'm not exactly sure about the shape of the earth but the absolute opposition to questioning the shape has me convinced that NASA is just full of shit.
>>
>>42370479
>Can't the firmament be absolutely real without necessitating that the earth is flat?
Yes. The origin of the firmament is Genesis and the creation myth. God created an expanse on the second day of creation to separate the "waters above" from the "waters below." There is nothing in Genesis that would indicate God made the world flat. And Genesis says that the Sun, Moon, and stars were placed inside the firmament, which would indicate that the "waters above" is at least outside our solar system, possibly outside our galaxy. Flat earth was a relatively recent invention and misconception. We have known that the earth isn't flat since at least Ancient Greece in 500BC. Even if you take the Bible literally and believe a firmament exists beyond the Sun, Moon, and Stars, there is no biblical evidence for a flat earth.
>>
>>42370479
Oh fuck I finally figured this one out.

Genesis doesn't say anything about the flood. It talks about separating the waters above and the waters below and it's unclear if it means literal water or if is a reference to a life force which is what the Semitic root for the word means.

You see that part on the bottom of your earth that shows the whole globe spins?

Ancient Indians described this fact in their astronomy books.
Two rotational poles in the sky.

I kinda assumed the firmament was just the atmosphere surrounding the earth. Always have to remember this is ancient humans trying to describe something they don't understand.
