My biblical creation model of the solar system expects the presence of icy materials forming the outer planets and celestial bodies. Recent findings of water and ice in bodies like Ceres, and moons of Jupiter and Saturn support this theory, confirming the Genesis account of creation.

Day 2 of creation, with a focus on the expanse (the firmament), is outlined. The Hebrew word ‘raqiya’ refers to a separation of waters above and below the expanse. The implications of this for the Kuiper Belt and the great deluge are discussed.
