So there’s oceans at the bottom and above us? Are we in some kind of bubble now? What happens if the firmament leaks water down into the bubble? Will it fill up, and where does the air go? Has the Waters above the firmament ocean a surface? And whats above that surface?
The firmament did open and leak. That's why we don't live as long as Methusaleh anymore, silly.
It's literally what happens in the story of Noah.
Hmm. They had bellows, and knew what air is, so that's actually a period-appropriate question. Maybe Sheol can be pressurised, or maybe Noah just didn't notice the air getting thicker.
The rest is just a version of "what's outside the universe", which applies to real cosmology too.
Now? No. Back then? Yes, the writing says so.
'How about we explore the area above that surface later?'
That is exactly why the "Floodgate" are here
Let that sink in: They installed a mechanism to intentionally flood our underwater cave!
It's pretty on-brand for the Talmudic god, honestly.
