October 29[edit]

Firmament[edit]

Could somebody in the know have a quick look at this article, especially with regard to the last edit by Forestsoceansmusic included in the recent version? I think at least the introduction could do with a little overhaul, but I'm afraid I'm not well-versed enough in this subject.--Cleph (talk) 18:14, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I now have it on my watchlist. --Guy Macon (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good alert. My old church minister said the same thing about what the firmament meant, and he weren't no Catholic. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:44, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if we should move Forestsoceansmusic's referenced comment into a separate section, something like "Alternative interpretations"? There are a ton of sources on Google Books which confirm that the "solid bowl" concept was actually believed by the ancient Hebrews. Alansplodge (talk) 13:58, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see that Forestsoceansmusic's contribution has now been reverted. Alansplodge (talk) 17:46, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
