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?

Well lets see. If something that's written has several different possible meanings, then you would have to figure out which of those meanings is most applicable to the subject being discussed. The most applicable meaning would have to fit the known facts of the subject at hand. My response to your assertion gave a more than reasonable.and scientific explanation of the meaning behind the language of.the creation account of Genesis. If you want to reject the meaning of a word that agrees with known science then the fault is yours not anyone elses.
