Can the Hebrew word raqia (7549 NAS Hebrew-Aramaic Dict. for firmament) in Gen 1 take the meaning of  the modern scientific concept of dimension? Verse 16 would seem to express a possibily of this. This would open endless possibilities to the Genesis account.
    "Central to this revolutionary perspective on the universe is the realization that higher-dimensional geometry may be the ultimate source of unity in the universe. This idea has fueled the hope that the physical laws of the universe, whose consequences fill entire library walls with books densely packed with tables and graphs, may one day be explained by a single equation. 15)" Hyperspace by Michio Kaku
