And what about the other objections - where is the water above the firmament, and why do you assume that God created only half an atmosphere?

No I didnt assume that, anything beyond the firmament is irrelevant to this discussion therefore I am only focusing on the firmament and the 'waters above the firmament'. I didnt see the relevance...maybe you can tell me how the upper atmosphere is relevant to your point? ...oh well, I tried to explain my side the best I could.
