A sheep in wolf's clothing.
Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
( Isaiah 48:13 )
If the earth formed as a watery matrix condensed around a gravitational singularity, then we would expect to find physical evidence that layers of sediment were deposited as a gaseous atmosphere developed.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
( Genesis 1:4 )
In pondering the physics of creation we have come to understand that the earth is part of the ongoing process of the permanent physical separation of light from darkness. The process is not complete. Yet.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
( Luke 16:19-31 )
Calculating the mass of earth takes circular reasoning and an assumption based on circumstantial evidence. It falls apart when you try to prove that there is no open space inside the earth.
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 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 17:48-49 )
Gravity is a field emitted from a created instance (singularity) that causes a body to have attractive force directly proportional to its mass, and inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the source.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
( Job 38:1-6 )
The deep was teeming with life, but the light was now obscured. Darkness returned. It was now necessary for God to bring about a permanent physical separation of light from dark. God created gravity.
When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
( Proverbs 8:27 )
We think of earth as down and the sky as up. Heaven above and hell below. Whatever happened on the 2nd day has to allow for the eventual formation of heaven and hell. These are not spiritual concepts.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
( Revelation 15:2 )
Accepting the firmament as a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space solves many scriptural and physics problems. The King James is the only Bible from which an accurate cosmological model may be deduced.
