Ha, Ha. Thanks for the laugh and exposing your ignorance.
In the Hebrew heaven means lofty: a visible ARCH. Earth means to be firm; country; field; ground; land; wilderness; world.
As you will see you are shooting from the lip again as it does not mention a flat earth or God walking on the sky.
You atheists really are a joke a minute. You weren't a scriptwriter for Bob Hope by any chance?

NUMBER 1. In fact, when I began to read the Bible with an open mind, I was astounded to discover that Yeshua is mentioned more than 150 times in the Old Testament. The apostle Paul even used the Tanakh to teach about Yeshua: “[The leaders of the Jews] arranged to meet Paul on a certain day. ... From morning till evening he explained and declared to them the kingdom of God and tried to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets” (Acts 28:23, NIV).
NUMBER 3. Daniel writes: “Inmy vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was ledinto his presence. [FONT="]“Hewas given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men ofevery language worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion thatwill not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed” (Dan.7:13-14, NIV).[/FONT]
NUMBER 5. “And you, OBethlehem Ephrath, you who were too small to be numbered among the thousands inthe house of Judah, from you shall come forth before Me the Messiah, toexercise dominion over Israel, He whose name was mentioned from before, fromthe days of creation.[SUP][FONT="]” [/FONT][/SUP][FONT="]“I will put enmitybetween you and the woman, and between the offspring of your sons and the offspringof her sons; and it shall be that when the sons of the woman observe thecommandments of the Torah, they will direct themselves to smite you on thehead, but when they forsake the commandments of the Torah, you will directyourself to bite them on the heel. However, there is a remedy for them, but noremedy for you. They are destined to make peace in the end, in the days of theKing Messiah.[/FONT][SUP][FONT="]”[/FONT][/SUP][FONT="][/FONT]
NUMBER 7. And the BabylonianTalmud, which was completed 500 years after Jesus, offers a commentary onZechariah 12:10. The verse reads, “They will look on Me, the One they havepierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, andgrieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.”TheTargum asks, “What is the cause of the mourning?” and answers, “It is wellaccording to him who explains that the cause is the slaying of Messiah, the sonof Joseph.”
All these are verses in the Old Testament and refer to Jesus, that is if you looking for evidence, not just poking a stick and making nonsensical claims.

Argument can be made and supported that the Bible communicates a "sky-dome cosmology" but variant views are possible. Cycel, now you've taken that further to a flat earth which I don't see in the Scriptures.
The Bible also speaks first to a contemporary audience and speaks primarily to the nature of God, the nature of man and the relationship between the two. The Bible does not try to advance the principles of known, natural science. People are left to discover that on their own. The message of the Bible (described by some as Ruin, Redemption and Regeneration) has been reaching people in a variety of historical, linguistic and cultural situations.
Ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Babylonians also had elements of a domed and earth-centered (geocentric) cosmology.
Western science operated according to the paradigm of an earth-centered (geocentric) cosmology up until the late sixteenth century. Much has been discovered since then.
Rest assured, contemporary science continues to have its own erroneous presuppositions and misunderstandings that will be discovered and amended in the future.
