“I've tried reading the Bible. I never make it past all the talk about the firmament. The firmament is the thing, on Day 1 or 2, that divides the waters from the waters. Here you have the firmament. Next to the firmament, the waters. Stay with the waters long enough, presumably you hit another stretch of firmament. I can't say for sure: at the first mention of the firmament, I start bleeding tears of terminal boredom. I grow restless. I flick ahead. It appears to go like this: firmament, superlong middle part, Jesus. You could spend half your life reading about the barren wives and the kindled wraths and all the rest of it before you got to the do-unto-others part, which as I understand it is the high-water mark.”
Joshua Ferris
“In the firmament of science Mayer and Joule constitute a double star, the light of each being in a certain sense complementary to that of the other.”
John Tyndall“Had the common man in (first century) Palestine thought about it at all, he would have considered the world flat, with land riding on and surrounded by water below and above. Keeping water up there was the “firmament” – a great, canopy-like dome not too far beyond where birds could fly. Indeed, the firmament had gates for the sun and moon to go through, and through which water fell as rain from the waters above.”
Thomas Daniel Nehrer, The Illusion of "Truth": The Real Jesus Behind the Grand Myth“The telescope destroyed the firmament, did away with the heaven of the New Testament, rendered the ascension of our Lord and the assumption of his Mother infinitely absurd, crumbled to chaos the gates and palaces of the New Jerusalem, and in their places gave to man a wilderness of worlds.”
Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses“The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork.”
Bible“Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.”
Paracelsus“The sky, with a single star, would be dark and boring. A million stars in the firmament makes for something wondrous and bright.”
Beem Weeks“From the moment of using rocket devices, a great new era will begin in astronomy: the epoch of the more intensive study of the firmament.”
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky“But there were certain early days in Casterbridge- days of firmamental exhaustion which followed angry south-westerly tempests-when, if the sun shone, the air was like velvet.”
