water vapor canopy as a viable Creationist idea. I was one of the major
players in that discussion via a 1979 article. It is interesting that after
19 years ICR finally agreed with my criticisms of the canopy. The page is at:

I also showed in my paper on the water above the firmament ("The firmament
and the water above, Part II: The Meaning of 'The Water above the Firmament"
in Gen 1:6-8," Westminster Theological Journal 54 (1992) 31-46) that the
interpretation of the "water above" as a (1) temporary (2) vapor (3) canopy
above the (4) atmosphere is directly opposite to what the Bible is saying.
The vapor canopy is falsified by both science and Scripture.
