Here is why abrahamics have believed in the ocean of heaven -
Because god imposed a heavenly order, and the description given was of separating waters from waters. The moon and the sun and clouds and rain and stars and space are all in the firmament. The ocean of heaven is the border between all of that and gods throne, as decreed by god. It's a claim to territory and boundary and authority and power. The firm and impassable barrier between this world and the other world. Where the material ends and the spiritual begins. It's apart, outside, and all around.
The only way to get through, as christians would have it, is through christ.
Or..dumb dumbs were trying to explain rain. 50/50.
Quote:"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."
