James Trimm, the sound quality of your speech is poor. It's because your microphone doesn't have a proper wind shield. Air blows from your mouth, which causes error sounds in the recording. You should put a better wind shield on your microphone or try recording by moving the microphone further away for example to the left. There are also inexpensive shirt-mounted microphones on the market, which usually work much better.
Thank you for scripturally and factually representing logical and sane truth. I hope this puts to rest someone’s doubts as they are being pressured and badgered to join the flat earth cult. And may I leave a reminder here that anyone who uses tactics like discounting evidence that won’t support their fringe theories or claiming you are deceived and against the Bible if you don’t think just like they do or uses mockery and other badgering techniques to shame you into siding with them is rarely ever on the right side.
Isn’t the firmament that which held the waters above in place before the flood? And it was dismantled at the time of the flood. That’s why the atmosphere changed since then.
We really need to unlearn and relearn so many things including this topic. Biblically, the firmament is really a firm solid crystalline structure up there. You quote Philo but why not Josephus? Just do more research before answering this question. There’s no gravity, and the law of density is the answer why it is so.
Firmament: Bronze Age Cosmology and uninformed thinking of the sky as some kind of "firm" dome. Water fell through the sky holes. It means what it was intended. Apologetic nonsense is not helping here. These were Bronze Age thinkers. They weren't known for knowing very much.

Cope harder, Trimminator! Reading later commentators and scientific theories that have no relation to the original ANE context into the biblical text is anachronistic and laughable. Job 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? Eze 1:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. Eze 1:23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. Eze 1:24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. Eze 1:25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. Eze 1:26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. Rev 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Rev 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
