I just started "The Wave-Chapter 24:The Bacchantes Meet Apollo At Stonehenge And Play The Third Man Theme. At the beginning of the chapter, The C's discuss with Laura the evidence of a water canopy back in the days of Noah and when Atlantis was destroyed. Of course the Bible claims that the Gods were kept awake by the copulation of humanity! So they destroyed everything, I.E. Sodom and Gomorrah, and the flood and Noah.
But my focus was on this water canopy. The C's and Laura discuss the close passage of a Celetial body(Martek, aka Mars), which caused Noah's great flood, which they also say is the symbolic explanation of the destruction of Atlantis. But prior to this(the C's confirmed in this chapter) the earths atmosphere consisted of a global water canopy, which is completely fascinating in itself. So I went and did some research on the alternate theories, or the debunking of this water canopy. Of course, I found a Christian website that claimed that this was completely untrue and that science had done a rebuttal on their theories proposing the water canopy.

I quote first the bible from this website: "Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. (Genesis 1:6-8: NASB)2
"The claim is made that this "expanse" or "firmament" (KJV) is a description of the canopy. The theory seems to hold up in the description of the Genesis flood"(Deem):
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened." (Genesis 7:11: NASB)
Then they refer to the word "raqia" which means heaven or sky:
Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse [raqia] of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; (Genesis 1:14)
And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse [raqia] of the sky." (Genesis 1:20)
The explanation of this I thought was extremely fascinating, but of course, totally ignorant blind faith of the bible:
"As can be seen by the uses of raqia, the term is very broad, encompassing both outer space and the atmosphere of earth. Obviously, raqia could not be specifically referring to a water canopy. Other verses state that raqia is declaring (present tense) the work of God's hands. This cannot be referring to a water canopy, since one does not exist at this present time."(Deem)
"since one does not exist at this present time"???? Haha...that made me laugh!
This supposed Christian Monotheistic Voice of Truth with his science being absolute, of course, goes on later to explain that there was no way a water vapor canopy could have existed because it directly contradicts the bible. He said according to Genesis, the The great Flood waters receded and this could not have happened if the water came from a water canopy. Also, he explained that earths gravity would not allow this canopy. And that's because he knows for sure that the gravity on our planet was the same thousands of years ago? Also, its claimed, another problem is getting the water out of the atmosphere and onto the ground without cooking everything. I would read this article if you have a chance knowledge seekers, if not for education of the disinformation, but for pure enjoyment. The funny thing is, this writer that wrote the article probably is not trying to release disinformation, but he is so devout in his faith, that he thinks he speaks the word of God(aka the bible).
