Is Genesis' Day 2 firmament the Earth's crust?

About this sermon

- "In the beginning God created... the earth. ...and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters" (Genesis 1:1-2). Then God, - "laid out (raqa) the earth [that is, its crust] above the waters" (Psalm 136:6). And, - "by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth [was] standing out of water and in the water" (2 Peter 3:5). - "Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament [i.e., under earth's crust] from the waters which were above the firmament" (Gen. 1:7). So, "The earth is the Lord’s... For He has founded it [the surface of the earth, that is, the earth's crust] upon the seas, and established it upon the waters" (Ps.24:1-2). This is why six chapters later Moses assumes the reader will understand the source of the floodwaters, that is, from the fountains of the great deep. This firmament video is excerpted from Real Science Radio's full video on the flood and the Hydroplate Theory at https://youtu.be/tpQSPaJ-X_U and rsr.org/flood is our landing page for all things hydroplate and rsr.org/evidence presents a bulleted list of the evidence for the global flood! SEPTUAGINT ISSUE: A significant point in this presentation, that on Day 2 God did not say, "It is good", is supported by Hebrew manuscripts but not by Greek Septuagint manuscripts of Genesis 1. Those Greek manuscripts are copies of a translation made from a much earlier Hebrew text. And thank you to YouTuber BeYeSeparate (2 Cor.6:14-18) who in February 2021 suggested: "Blessings brother Enyart, thank you. I think it would be a great idea to isolate and upload that section on the firmament/raqia (36:14 - 1:05:48). God Bless."
