It's ambiguous enough to allow people like you to come up with some pretty imaginative interpretations, but the way that those interpretations always seem to track with science --instead of the other way around-- shows that it's not your book that has it right.

"Scripture also stated that the sky was a canvas stretched across the flat circle of the world by a supernatural being" - Actually, it says " He is above the circle of the earth,..... He stretches out the heavens like a canopy".
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
