ahh, the truth , yet again...
Why is it if YOU wrote a book that was found NOT to be in the correct order, it wouldn't be a big deal? The bible never claims to have been written in order from chapter one, two, three, etc.. hell, even revelations, the last book of the Bible has events taken place before the earth was created. I think you are attacking it a bit much based on the fact you are a naturalist. That's just fine and dandy with me. Even if I think what you believe is bullshit.
Even if one doesn't believe in God, to just throw out a supreme being all together and go with randomness is ok? Maybe they are both stupid to the cretionevolutionist???
By the way, word definitions are a poor choice to smash.
Word History: Cute is a good example of how a shortened form of a word can take on a life of its own, developing a sense that dissociates it from the longer word from which it was derived. Cute was originally a shortened form of acute in the sense “keenly perceptive or discerning, shrewd.” In this sense cute is first recorded in a dictionary published in 1731. Probably cute came to be used as a term of approbation for things demonstrating acuteness, and so it went on to develop its own sense of “pretty, fetching,” first recorded with reference to “gals” in 1838.

Point is.. Words change. They shorten, lengthen, change meaning, etc. Did firmament mean "upside down bowl" to them when the Bible was written? I don't know-- do you know for sure?
