wow chuckliveson.... I'm a baptist, and I don't agree with that supposed 'baptst' teaching you said you went to... that must have been a very confused pastor, sorry, no offense to anyone who does agree, but, man. I've heard of there being 7 heavens... but they aren't anywhere in space... and I don't believe hell is in the center of the earth... now about the thick water above the earth, I keep hearing about it from different baptist sources, but I'm not sure i believe it...
