Does the Bible’s Firmament Prove a Flat, Enclosed Earth?

I believe the Bible’s account of creation is literal, including the firmament on Day 2. Genesis describes how God separated the waters above from the waters below before land appeared. The flood narrative hints that water lay both under the earth and above the firmament. Some rocket tests and expeditions near Antarctica report hitting a hard, curved barrier. Could this be the biblical firmament? If a solid dome encloses our world, mainstream science and space imagery may be misleading. We need to question what we’ve been taught and consider a divinely designed, enclosed earth.

Have we considered how ancient readers might have pictured the firmament, and what that implies for understanding Genesis literally?

What ancient texts frame the firmament as a real dome rather than figurative language?

The text mentions waters above and below, yet it never explains how those waters interacted with the land once creation finished.

I dey wonder if insisting on a literal dome might overlook symbolic language that spoke more to ancient communities than modern science.

Maybe focusing on how these passages shape faith and values offers more insight than debating physical structure of an ancient cosmology.
