Hi, Rolf: In response to the comment below, let's try this... The writer of Genesis attributes the existence of heaven and earth to the word and acts of God. But the description of the created world includes only the visible creation, right? There is no speculation about the abode of God, of the angels or of any material phenomena that are beyond simple human perception. So to bring this down to the RQY(.... it seems to me that the many descriptions of the "firmament", "sky" etc, can best be understood as observational (it looks different at different times) rather than an attempt at a comprehensive cosmology (necessitating that it changes from one substance to another substance at different times).

This means that the creation account cannot be based on human observation, and therefore we cannot explain any part of it as such. _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
