Wow, wait a day and your in the archives.
I have read some of David Ickes but he is a little more out there than I am ready for. I do not believe in reptilians and transforming beings, etc.
I just think that what ancient people are describing in their holy books, including the Bible, would be described much differently today with our technical language. Culture after culture has stories of beings coming from the heavens, the skies, from above in a great boat, etc.
In the Bible they have cute names like Angels and Cherubs but what they are saying is the same.
As for the heavens being between the waters, I think that the Hebrew word for heavens meant "sky" and nothing more. But I don't speak Hebrew and have to take someone elses word on that.
Peace out.Hahahaha
