George, I only responded to Jerry's dome cosmology [ Sky (dome, vault) ] remark, and do not intend to discuss the 'chaos/disorder/vacuum' part :-)

Best remarks

He is arguing that Gen 1 specifically envisions a situation of chaos/disorder/vacuum (תהו ובהו) from which God creates an orderly universe. This is not to deny that there are other texts in the Hebrew Bible that see a creatio ex nihilo, but Gen 1 may not be one of those texts.
