===== Genesis 1:6–8 describes a solid dome (“firmament”) separating waters. =====
This matches ancient Near Eastern cosmology, not modern science.

===== Does not describe a hard dome. Mentions layers of sky (Q 41:12, Q 67:3), which some interpret as atmospheric layers. =====

Q 16:15 describes mountains “stabilizing” Earth.
