Great article Kathy - as always intelligent and informative. I especially appreciated the graphic which shows the ancient Hebrew understanding of the universe. I have a Bible which has a similar picture and it is intriguing to contemplate "the waters above the firmament". I've surmised that to be a protective bubble around the earth at the beginning of creation, one which provided a perfect atmosphere and climate. A perpetual "garden", one with no weeds and even friendly dinosaurs. :)
