Genesis says God created the firmament, which was believed to be a solid dome to separate the waters above (in space) from the waters below. The ancients had no little idea about where rain came from. The Flood narrative even says God opened the "windows of heaven" because the ancients literally believed that's where all the rain came from. What we're dealing with is mythology, not science. If a God was actually involved in the writing of the Bible maybe we would see equations written out on the page, but we don't, we have an absurd narrative where God verbally commands plants to come into existence BEFORE HE CREATES THE SUN.
The Bible is important as a religious text for billions of people but it's not a science textbook, far from it.

You do know that the order of events that god supposedly created the universe in are completely out of order from what science says happened right?
Hydrogen, oxygen etc which were created before the sun.
Here's a challenge. Prove the theory that God exists is wrong using religion.

That is not necessarily true. It's all about how you interpret the metaphors. The Genesis account and the process of life from plants, sea animals followed by land animals is consistent with both the big bang and evolution. One only needs to believe a day in Genesis is a period of time, a theory that is supported by the scriptures themselves.
