When Genesis 1:2 talks about the about the spirit of God hovering upon the face of waters, what is the "waters" referring to in this verse? I know it's not talking about the sea because that was created on the third day. So, what is this "waters" a symbolism for?
2 Peter 3:6 mentions the firmament in regard to the flood. Apparently there was a separation of the waters above the earth from those beneath. The theory is that ice crystals were in the atmosphere perhaps like Saturn's rings and it would have collapsed causing some of the water in the flood. Underneath the earth there is a considerable amount of subterranean waters (such as seas under the sea). This would have been brought out perhaps by forces of vulcanism at the time.
