It says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
That describes a creation process, not a 'temple' of any sorts.
And if you look at the text in context and with reference to beliefs and language of the time you'll see very clearly. Clearly beyond reasonable doubt. That this is precisely not cosmology or origins being described. You're taking a simple sentence out of context and making assumptions next to your current day context. That is completely inappropriate and unhelpful. I would challenge you to back up your point with a fraction of the evidence presented. No such evidence is forthcoming from any other position that I know of.
