Genesis 7:11, 8:2

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

Well, well, well. What do we have here? Could it be that the windows of heaven is not just flowery poetic language? If heaven is a sphere of crystal on the edge of space like a sea of glass, which was used to separate the waters above from the waters below during creation, then if portals in it opened water would pour through.

Just imagine, this could be as if large sections, similar to the one that God was riding on in Exodus 24, slid to the side to allow the water through. My goodness, when they slid back into place it could have caused a shower of tiny rolled glass beads to fall, along with grains of shocked quartz as it slammed into place, and other extra-terrestrial elements like Iridium. If it fell just as the 40 days and nights of rain ended then it might be deposited as a thin layer all around the world marking the boundary between one sedimentary sequence and another.

Oh, wait, we have exactly that. It’s called the Iridium Anomaly.

I guess this means that the idea that heaven is a sheet of layered crystal that encloses a spherical universe is actually a predictive testable hypothesis.

Who knew?

This is the end of the rabbit trail. Thanks for following it!
