A sheep in wolf's clothing.
Genesis 1:6-8
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
(Isaiah 40:22) ESV
Flat earthers claim that the use of the Hebrew word chug, for circle, in Isaiah 40:22 means that the Earth has to be a flat disk. The idea being that if the Earth was a sphere then the Hebrew word for ball should have been used.

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
(Ecclesiastes 10:18) KJV
One of our Hebrew gravity concepts occurs in the context of a house so neglected that the roof falls in. The root that the word foundation is derived from is makon. The establishment of a foundation and sinking down are derived from the same root.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(Genesis 1:6) KJV
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
(Genesis 1:4) KJV
Dividing the water above the firmament from the water below below it required physical space. Likewise, dividing the light from the darkness isn’t the alternation of day and night, it’s also the their separation by a physical space.

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
(Job 38:4-7) ESV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) found gravity in the context of the second day of creation, by which God establishes a space between the waters above and the waters below the firmament.

I looked at the dome over the heads of the living creatures and above them was something that seemed to be a throne made of sapphire.
(Ezekiel 10:1) Good News Translation
The Hebrew word translated as “dome” is raqia. A simple definition is “expanse” so most translations render the meaning as “the expanse of the sky.”

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
(2 Peter 3:8) KJV
People, even Christians, commonly claim is that the Bible isn’t scientific. One reason being that it doesn’t make any predictions which can be tested. We’ll show you that the Bible is predictive, testable and therefore scientific.

And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
(1 Samuel 17:49) KJV
Gravity is fundamental to the working out of God’s plan for creation. So how on Earth did we manage to deduce that gravity was created on the second day? There are three parts to this logic:

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
(Matthew 13:24-25) KJV
A lot of things about God start to make sense when you know the purpose of creation. In particular the uneasy feeling you may get with the idea of a kind and loving God casting sinners into hell.

Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
(Proverbs 8:25-27) ESV
We think of Earth as down and the sky as up. Heaven above and hell below. Whatever happened on the second day has to allow for the eventual formation of heaven and hell. These aren’t spiritual concepts.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
(Revelation 4:6) KJV
Accepting the firmament as a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space solves many scriptural and physical problems. The King James Version is the only Bible from which an accurate cosmological model may be deduced.
