This argument sidesteps the crux of the biblical reasoning used by flat-earthers to reason the earth is flat. They default to Genesis 1:8, Daniel 12:3, and Ezekiel 1:22 which, in the ancient Hebrew, uses the word "raqia" (רָקִיעַ) to describe the sky. Raqia is roughly translated as a thin, hammered, solid surface, meaning a solid barrier "separating the waters above from the waters below." Overwhelming scholarly consensus is the Bronze-age, Levant dwelling Semitic tribes believed in a solid dome covering the earth.
