The Bible describes a creation where the earth is still and at rest, with a firmament dome over the earth that creates our atmosphere. This is in contrast to the heliocentric view of the universe, where the earth is spinning and orbiting the sun. The Bible also describes the sun and moon as much smaller and closer to the earth, moving in a circle around us. The stars are believed to be angelic activity, and the Bible does not mention asteroids, meteorites, or comets. The Bible teaches that the earth is fixed and immovable, with an up and a down, and that heaven is up and hell is down.
