"It IS mentioned in the Bible as a firmament. In Psalms, David talked about how the FIRMAMENT showed His handywork."
And in 1957, Soviet Atheist science completely annihilated the Bible's model of the universe, when they sent up Sputnik 1.
Later confirmed with Laika, the first Terran lifeform in space; Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space; Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, and Alexey Leonov, the first man to perform an EVA or 'spacewalk'.
I'm sure if you told Buzz Aldrin the same, he'd see the irony in your bullshit; just as you'd see the irony of you 're-entering' reality as you hit the ground.
It is also of the most supreme irony, that this fundie twat chose as his screename, the main character in one of Nintendo's most popular game franchises; and in a Sci-Fi scenario, no less. Y'know, 'GodsSamus': as in Space. As in other planets.
No wonder the 'Red Scare' of the 1950s was ramped up several notches in the US then. And not just due to the potential military implications of the USSR's early forays into space, neither.
