This is another example of why we shouldn't be using the King James Version in the 21st. Century. Nobody today uses the word 'firmament' so it has to be "translated" into sky or more accurately the atmosphere. If God called the region between the seas and the clouds "Heaven" (as we understand the word today) then why don't we see Him, Jesus, the angels, the throne, etc. since they are in heaven? Clearly something else is meant.
Most modern translations translate Genesis 1:6-8 as "God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water. So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. It was so. God called the expanse sky. There was evening, and there was morning, a second day." or something very similar, which makes it far more understandable.
so where is the creation of heaven?
Well the most literal translation is ASB
here it is.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Just because you don't understand don't knock the best translations out there.
Why would God have to create sky? there was a ball of water and space with nothing in it, empty.
and the sky open up and Jesus went up into the sky, are you forgetting that. You fail to take into account different 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Why would God need to create sky there was a ball of water and space, empty space.
You fail to take into account other dimensions. Heaven is up in another realm which is why you can not see it. and why you can not see angels or a persons spirit.
