“In The Beginning”
“In The Beginning”
Gen 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
There are seven words in the Hebrew texts: בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ׃
"And on the second day He created the firmament in the midst of the waters, and the waters were divided on that day -half of them went up above and half of them went down below the firmament (that was) in the midst over the face of the whole earth. And this was the only work (God) created on the second day."
"And on the second day He created the firmament in the midst of the waters, and the waters were divided on that day -half of them went up above and half of them went down below the firmament (that was) in the midst over the face of the whole earth. And this was the only work (God) created on the second day."

The Bible tells us that God created a firmament (atmosphere) in the midst (middle) of the waters: "And God said: Let there be a firmament (atmosphere) in the midst(middle) of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the WATERS WHICH WERE UNDER THE FIRMAMENT from the WATERS WHICH WERE ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT: and it was so." Genesis 1:6-7
The Waters below and the waters above the atmosphere; What does this mean?
When God created the earth He created a thick cloud canopy around the earth to protect it from the harmful Solar Radiation, and the extreme cold of outer space. This water canopy created a global greenhouse effect that greatly warmed the planet.
Greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth's surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by the presence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and certain other gases in the air. Of those gases, known as greenhouse gases, water vapor has the largest effect. There is evidence to show that before the flood, the earth had a much thicker cloud canopy around it, which created a terrarium type effect, with uniform temperatures and a tropical rainforest climate all over the earth. If you take a large water bottle and put dirt and plants inside, and then water the plants and put a lid on the bottle, you will never have to water it again. This clear, transparent water layer around the Earth acted like a lid on a terrarium, keeping the warm air and moisture within the earth's atmosphere from escaping into outer space where it is extremely cold.
The Bible seems to be describing a protective water vapor barrier between the earth's atmosphere and outer space . . . like an invisible shield of protection over the whole earth, allowing the sunlight to pass through, but preventing heat and moisture from escaping too quickly, and keeping the whole world at a uniform tropical temperature. God tells us that: " . . . the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth . . . But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.” Genesis 2:5-6 "In the beginning" the entire surface of the earth was a tropical paradise, very similar to what is known as Tropical rainforest. Tropical plants and animals would have lived all over the world, including the North and South poles, that are now covered with two miles thick of ice and snow...
Third Day: Seas, Land, And Vegetation
Gen 1:9: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
"...upon Adam’s prediction that the world was to be destroyed at one time by the force of fire, and at another time by the violence and quantity of water, they made two pillars: the one of brick, the other of stone: they inscribed their discoveries on them both: that in case the pillar of brick should be destroyed by the flood, the pillar of stone might remain, and exhibit those discoveries to mankind: and also inform them that there was another pillar of brick erected by them."

"Now [Moses] says, that this flood began on the twenty-seventh [seventeenth] day of the forementioned month: and this was two thousand six hundred and fifty six [one thousand five hundred and fifty six years] from Adam the first man: and the time is written down in our sacred Books"

"The Armenians call this place, Ἀποβατήριον, The place of descent: for the Ark being saved in that place, its remains are shewed there by the inhabitants to this day. Now all the writers of Barbarian Histories make mention of this flood, and of this Ark: among whom is Berosus the Chaldean. For when he is describing the circumstances of the flood, he goes on thus: “It is said there is still some part of this ship in Armenia, at the mountain of the Cordyæans; and that some people carry off pieces of the bitumen: which they take away, and use chiefly as amulets, for the averting of mischiefs.” Hieronymus the Egyptian also, who wrote the Phenician Antiquities; and Mnaseas, and a great many more make mention of the same. Nay Nicolaus of Damascus, in his ninety sixth Book, hath a particular relation about them: where he speaks thus: “There is a great mountain in Armenia, over Minyas, called Baris: upon which it is reported that many who fled at the time of the deluge were saved: and that one who was carried in an Ark, came on shore upon the top of it; and that the remains of the timber were a great while preserved: this might be the man about whom Moses, the Legislator of the Jews, wrote.”" Book I, Chpt. 3 verse 5 & 6

In 1874, Isaac N. Vail published a pamphlet in which he argued that the world had once been covered by a water vapor canopy (Vail, 1912, p. v). The Earth's Aqueous Ring: or The Deluge and its Cause.
"[God] placed the heaven over the whole world, and separated it from the other parts; and he determined it should stand by it self. He also placed a cristalline [firmament] round it; and put it together in a manner agreeable to the earth; and fitted it for giving moisture and rain, and for affording the advantage of dews. "
-- Flavius Josephus of the Antiquities of the Jews Book I, Chpt. 1 verse 1

Now God loved [Noah] for his righteousness. Yet he... determined to destroy the whole race of mankind; and to make another race that should be pure from wickedness: and cutting short their lives, and making their years not so many as they formerly lived, but one hundred and twenty only"
-- Flavius Josephus of the Antiquities of the Jew
Back in the era before the Flood a fountain of water clouded the Earth. “Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains” (Psa.104:6). “When I made the cloud the garment thereof…” (Job 38:9a). Earth’s climatic condition was ideal and stable all the year round because the aqueous shell, the garment of water that shrouded it, made the Earth a ‘greenhouse’. There was no extreme hot and cold climate. That was its original state until the days of Noah when “all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened, and the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights”(Gen.7:11b-12). The Earth was completely inundated with water. The thick layer of aqueous shell was no more. ..
