First. In this model, there would most likely have been greater atmospheric pressure. Today, at sea level, air pressure is 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch). With the firmament as described the air pressure could have easily been double that a 32.05 psi.

Second. There would have been greater oxygen (O2) and greater carbon dioxide (C02) in the atmosphere. Today O2 stands at about 22%, it could have been much higher. C02 currently occupies .003% and could have been easily .008%. It has been speculated that under these conditions a person could run over 200 miles without suffering fatigue. Also, open wounds would heal in as little as 24 hours. Plants would also grow to greater sizes.

Third. Little or no ultra-violet or harmful radiation would reach the surface of the earth. This fact would add to the preservation of everything on earth including humans.

Fourth. There would possibly be fewer harmful bacteria. Consider the health implications of this.

Fifth. Due to the fiber optic nature of the canopy, the effect of the light from the sun and moon would be equally dissipated from pole to pole on the affected side of the planet. The light would be softer and the earth would never experience a completely dark period as it does now. Also the light would most likely be soft pink in color.

The Bible record seems to indicate that this was the case. "God made two great lights - the greater light to govern the day and the lesser to govern the night." (Gen. 1:16) It could be assumed that the lesser light that governed the night was the moon. However, the moon is not always visible so perhaps this does not fulfil this requirement while the soft transfer of light to the dark side of the planet due to the fiber optic nature of the canopy would.

Also, it is well known that pink light is the most beneficial for plants, animals and humans. For plants it is the most important light in the spectrum. For humans it has a calming effect. Under the right spectrum of pink light, the brain secretes norepinephrine which is a natural tranquillizer and neuro-transmitter. This would allow human minds to work at maximum efficiency in a tranquil environment.

Sixth. The stars would be enhanced as they shone through the firmament. "....He also made the stars. (God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night...." (Gen. 1:17) NASA has found that when a red filter is used in space, the stars appear in beautiful, enhanced color. With the firmament to act as a filter, the stars would be vivid and visible day and night. We have long been able to tell times and seasons by the position of the stars. In this model of creation mankind would have no need for a Timex or a Rolex. Time would be immediately obvious by just looking up at the stars.

Seventh. Scientists have concluded in recent years that many stars give off music. This would be enhanced as it passed through the firmament and could have been audible at the surface of the earth. Is this what the ancients had in mind when they wrote of the primal creation. The account in the book of Job records this statement from God. "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?" ..while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" (Job 38:4-7)

The Bible account suggests another significant difference in the primal creation model. "....the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth ...but streams (a mist KJV) came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground" (Gen. 2:6)

There was no rain. There would then be no clouds. This would enhance the suggestion about the stars made above. It would also indicate there were vast pools of water under the surface of the ground that rose and fell through the sand silicate layer covering the earth - a perfect hydroponic system. The rising and falling of the water could have been helped by the greater magnetic field on the earth at that time.

The structure of the earth was very different, including the earth s magnetic field. Today it has been calculated that the earth is loosing 1/2 of its magnetic field every 1,400 years. The field of 5,000 to 6,000 years ago would have been considerably stronger.

It may also be true that the earth was a great, controlled thermonuclear reactor controlled by under ground reservoirs of water to regulate temperature and to supply the roots of the plants with a constant, controlled supply of warm water. ‘The heating of the environment did not come from above; instead, there would have been a gentle thermal blanket within the earth, probably surrounded by a layer of asphalt inside the earth called the "swaddlingband" in Job 38:9. (Carl E. Baugh, PH.D; Panorarma of Creation)

The picture beginning to emerge is one of paradise - a perfect environment for life - under the influence of the original Greenhouse Effect.

We have been considering a creation model where the earth was surrounded by a canopy of water. This water would have been compressed under supercold cryogenic conditions making it crystalline, transparent, fiber optic, superconductive and ferromagnetic in nature. A thin, near metallic, layer encased in ice crystals.

Under this canopy life would have been vastly different than life as we experience it today. It would have been paradise. Tropical conditions existing from pole to pole. No clouds or rain. The plants watered from underground springs providing warm water to the roots. The earth bathed in a tranquil pink glow that was greater in the day and lesser at night. Plants and animals growing and living at their optimum. Humans living greatly extended life spans. The Bible records the age of the oldest man as reaching 969 years. ‘Altogether, Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died." (Gen. 5:27)

The inhabitants of the earth lived in tranquillity and near perfect health. It could also be speculated that under these perfect atmospheric conditions, where open wounds would heal in one day, the body would have the ability to recreate the genetic code and actually re-grow severed limbs. This was paradise in its ultimate form.
