What God made in Gensis is entirely accurate to what actually exists

Here's a link to the NIV of Genesis 1-4. ( . http://www.biblegateway.com... )While I imagine it is satisfactory, if Pro finds this version to be unacceptable and would like to provide a link to a version that he does find acceptable, I'll change my arguments to fit that version, assuming that I find any descrepencies in it. Anyways, on to my contentions, of which I only have a few that are relevant to the context of this debate. I know Pro will be refuting in accordance with literal interpretation, but I will be including some metaphorical interpretations, as I feel they help to convey my contentions. I would ask that voters do NOT hold it against Pro of he chooses not to address any metaphorical interpretations that I include. Genesis 1:6-8 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water. ” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky. ” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. My contention here is "the water above", which is separated from the water below by the sky. I think it's clear that the water below would be the oceans/seas of the Earth, and that the sky would be the Earth's atmosphere (possibly space as well, but I'll address that at the end of this post. )As to the water above, metaphorically speaking, I would assume it to be space, but that conflicts with another of my contentions (which I'll explain further alongside that contention). As a literal interpretation, the best I can figure is that the writers of the bible were not truly inspired by God, and that they thought space was actually water suspended above the Earth, in accordance to Gods will. Of course, we know that space is not made up of water. Genesis 1:14-17 (I've included 18-19 on the off-chance they have a context relevance that I don't see) 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth. ” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. Here, I would say it's clear that the greater and lesser lights are the Sun and the Moon, respectively. My initial thought here was that the Moon is not actually a light, it only appears so because of the light from the Sun hitting it. However, I've since dismissed this as an issue, as the Moon does allow light to reach places the Sun alone couldn't, and so it is relatable to a light. However, by a literal interpretation, I would have to say this is inaccurate. The larger problem that I see here is the setting of the two lights and the stars in the vault of the sky. This strikes me as saying the Sun, Moon, and Stars are in the Earth's atmosphere. Going back to my metaphorical interpretation of "the water above" as space, God would have had to put these things in the water above, rather than the vault of the sky, in order to be accurate to reality as we know it. But again, a literal interpretation fits in with what people could observe. To one who knows nothing about space, the Sun, Moon, and Stars would appear to be in the sky. So again, I am left to conclude that the bible was not inspired by God as it does not reflect reality as we know it. As I said earlier, I have considered that the vault of the sky refers to both the Earth's atmosphere and space, in which case much of this does fit with reality. In this case, we may simply have yet to observe "the water above", or metaphorically speaking, perhaps the water above is the edge of the Universe. I've also dismissed this as well, as it leaves the story of creation incomplete (and in truth, it is incomplete either way). No creation of other planets takes place it, of which we know there are many, thousands even. Neither does the creation of black holes take place. I must admit that an incomplete story does not necessarily mean the story is inaccurate. However, the creation story can easily be interpreted as inaccurate if taken literally, and more over, inaccurate in ways that are relatable to what its writers would have been able to observe. For these reasons, I have come to the conclusion that the story of creation as told in Genesis is inaccurate to the reality we know.
