**For Protestants, it's Bible alone, but they don't keep the Sabbath. A fascinating problem.**

Nor have they disposed of their globes. For the Bible tells us that the world was/is flat. LOL!

Sola Scriptura Alert!

Actually, if you read Genesis very, very carefully, without preconceived notions, it tells you something a little bit different.

It tells you that the universe is full of water, and that the visible universe is made out of a bubble in the water. There's water outside of it above, and below: the abyss.

Now, above, the firmament is that: a solid dome. The stars and planets and sun are placed IN the firmament. Not above it. There are gates in the firmament, the gates of heaven, and these gates were opened to flood the world in the time of Noah. Similarly, the waters below are gathered, within the bubble, and dry land appeared, but there are gates in the bubble below, the wellsprings of the earth, and they too were opened to cause the Flood. The Flood wasn't caused by rain, from clouds, It was caused by water rushing down from BEYOND THE STARS AND PLANETS, when the gates of the firmament (in which the stars are fixed) were opened and the water above the bubble poured in.
Also, the Flood wasn't just rain. The water welled up from the wellsprings too.

There's water out there beyond the stars. And that is why the sky is blue. Think about it.

It's a very interesting creation myth.
But it's not true.
