You are seriously grasping at straws here.

I.E. the text found in the bible as it was written by the original authors.
You and RobotPelvis are doing the exact same thing. You're taking quotes from the bible that are 100% factually incorrect and twisting them to fit your agenda. You seriously think that the Hebrews from thousands of years ago had any concept of an atmosphere surrounding the earth? Or that this atmosphere, composed almost entirely of empty space, could be dense enough to produce the kind of friction necessary to vaporize meteors? Here's another hint: they had no fucking clue about anything of the sort.
Again, there are multitudes of biblical scholars, living and dead, who would disagree with your above interpretation of the word "dome" as presented in Genesis. What makes your opinion any more valid than theirs?

It is not my opinion or a scholars opinion that counts. It is what harmonizes with the test of the bible. I proved the creative day as an epoch was in harmony with the rest of the bible.
And can you say with absolute certainty that expanse is a mistranslation? No you cannot you assume that based upon a period when people could not have completed of modern scientific theories. But yet the bible also says:
Job26:7. He stretches out the northern sky * over empty space,* +
Suspending the earth upon nothing
Same bible writer as Genesis. Moses knew the earth was suspended in space. At that time that would have been a radical concept. In fact it took thousand of years for man to reach that conclusion. The same reason he knew this was the same reason he knew of the scientific creation of research, he knew how God though and was inspired to write accordingly.
