The question posed by the writer of the e-mail which I was responding to
asked what was meant by separation of water.
It is my own personal understanding and belief that this is in fact the
separation of gaseous clouds within the solar system. To make it somewhat
more explanatory, I submit the following for critique:
NIV-Genesis 1:6-8
Judeo-Christian: And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the
waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated
the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God
called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning--the
second day.
Scientific: The gases(water) drifting around the sun began to cool and
mass together and form a proto-earth with a atmosphere that separated it
from the open space(water) above. The second era/stage past.
While I am certain that this may be a minority view, it is nonetheless my
own.
Thanks for your response.

Welcome, Don. I've been here for a month. I know that at
least one other person is relatively new. New insight and
information is always appreciated.
I can't help you with the root for gas.
Bible "trivia" - almost all of OT written in Hebrew, with
a very small portion in Aramaic. NT in Greek.
Apparently Greek is more precise - good for doctrine, but
I don't speak it.
My rough impression of the OT is that it is very "direct."
Any insight on where you are going with the gaseous forms? :)
Jim
