WATER CANOPY THEORY Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

The Firmament that divides the Waters from the Waters {color black} Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. The Seas upon the Earth {the waters below} The Firmament that divides the Waters from the Waters {color black} The Firmament above the Waters It is commonly thought by many researchers that the biblical FIRMAMENT is synonymous to the modern term SPACE. The Waters above the Earth {the orbiting waters} {above the Firmament}

It is a SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS that early Earth had a MUCH THICKER ATMOSPHERE!

Astronomers announce discovery of 5 new planets May 9, 2000 – BBC Eight new "planets" have been discovered by Swiss astronomers. Their detection brings to about 40 the number of known planets outside our Solar System. Astronomers Discover Bundle of Extrasolar Planets by Maia Weinstock Staff Writer posted: 07:00 am ET 07 August 2000 …the finds could bring the total number of planets detected beyond our solar system to 50. Included in the collection of newly discovered objects is the smallest extrasolar planet yet detected – a gas giant roughly half the size of Saturn. WASHINGTON - The Hubble Space Telescope may have discovered as many as 100 new planets out beyond our solar system orbiting stars in the Milky Way galaxy, astronomers say. June 27, 2004. NASA January 31, 2005 http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/news/5NewPlanets.html Astronomers announce discovery of 5 new planets (PLANETQUEST) -- A team of U.S. astronomers has discovered five gas-giant type planets outside our solar system, bringing to 139 the total number of known planets orbiting stars other than the Sun, according to a paper posted in the online edition of The Astrophysical Journal.

and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Pre-FLOOD EARTH and the CANOPY of WATER before the FLOOD of Noah The CANOPY of waters above the firmament would have shielded the crust of the Earth from the intense solar radiations and insulated the Earth from the production of radio-carbons and the breading of the radio-active atmosphere, providing the conditions for the pre-flood longevity of humankind!!! It would have shielded the intense solar rays responsible for the evaporation and the conditions for rain upon the Earth!!! For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth...

also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Genesis 5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

The CANOPY according to the Book of GENESIS 1) Particles of water of a CANOPY in vapor form orbited the Earth and moved in elliptical paths. 2) Collisions between the particles of water obeyed the Laws of Conservation of Mass, Energy and Momentum!!! 3) The resulting new particles carried away the combined kinetic energy of the initial particles, shifting to new orbits after each collision. 4) And there were basically three kinds of collisions: A) Most collisions between particles of water often gave rise to new, smaller particles of water! These were the hard collisions approaching orbital velocities. The new particles scattered into increased numbers of smaller particles, which carried away the combined kinetic energy of the initial particles, shifting to new orbits after each collision. B) Adjacent particles belonging to a close bunch moved along similar paths with similar orbits and resulted in soft collisions, each time yielding larger particles of water vapor, as they lump together. C) Particles that moved counter to the predominant motion of the CANOPY would have resulted in hard heed- on collisions with relatively higher velocities and were most likely to induce ionization and chemical decomposition of the water vapor into hydrogen, oxygen and other free radicals. The Laws of Thermodynamics and Physics suggest that the resulting products all collisions would have recombined quickly with the bulk of the waters of the CANOPY, a stabilizing effect, supportive of the longevity of the CANOPY system as is described in The Book of Genesis!!! 5) The predominant motion of the CANOPY was either a prograde, same as that of the spinning Earth, or a retrograde motion. The bulk of the waters moved together!!! Modern science and the known ancient records on the CANOPY of waters above the firmament can not reveal, definitively, which of these possible directions might have been the predominant direction of motion! 6) Dividing evenly all waters above the firmament into single particles of water the size of a grain of sand, such that they were to share equally the space above the firmament, a single particle of water would have ample free space, essentially the volume an average sized refrigerator! Conceivably, a single particle of water could by chance make a complete orbit about the Earth without colliding with another particle of water! 7) This vastness of space provided to the waters above the firmament resulted in only occasional collisions between the particles of water vapor, thus providing the Earth's atmosphere with only a sprinkling of water over millennia of time!!! A MIST fell upon the earth!!! 8) The CANOPY of waters above the firmament would have shielded the crust of the Earth from the intense solar radiations and insulated the Earth from the production of radio-carbons and the breading of the radio-active atmosphere, providing the conditions for the pre-flood longevity of humankind!!! It would have shielded the intense solar rays responsible for the evaporation and the conditions for rain upon the Earth!!! For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth...
