37. Incorrect Flat-Earth Theory: The Dome Around The Earth Is “The Firmament,” And The Sun Is Located In That Dome
However, if we take a hyper-literal interpretation of the Bible, we have to start with Genesis. Moreover, in the creation account, the Bible talks about a “firmament” above the Earth. If you’re not sure what firmament is, it is the arch or vault over the Earth and sky, which separates the earthly realm from what is beyond it. It’s like saying we live in a giant bubble, and nothing beyond us is important or exists. Alternatively, like saying we’re living in this big jar. Could you imagine if that were to be true?
Only the most literal of all literal interpretations would insist that the firmament refers to a literal dome around the Earth and that the sun is inside that dome. However, there are flat earthers who believe that. If the Bible says that it is true, or at least their interpretation of the Bible, who are we to disagree with? There isn’t much proof that everything written in the Bible is right. However, many people believe what it says and live by it anyway. They may also think that science isn’t always right.
