Re: keeping things on track
Maybe the passage is concerned with the creation of a breathable atmosphere.
​
What would the breathability of an atmosphere have to do with whether it scatters light or not? I'm guessing that a 100% nitrogen atmosphere would be just as blue as the one we have now - do you have any data to the contrary? And Mars has "daylight", to use your term. We can't breathe their atmosphere.

The Genesis calendar, which is the oldest and most accurate in existence (able to predict a sunset a 100,000 years in advance, and accurate to a billionth of a sec)

What total nonsense! Balderdash! Where did this silliness even come from?

Examing it closer, there is no other reading of it of a spherical earth -
​
You're kidding, right? "Isa 40:22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"

All the laws the world follows is from the OT - exclusively; not a single law comes from any other religion, philosophy or advancement. Think about it.
​
You might pause for a second and think about it yourself. Like the next time you exceed 25 mph in a school zone, or drive with glasspacks instead of standard mufflers. Or quote from a website without attribution. Or possess cocaine.
​
Wow. Just freakin' wow.

"The wretched world lies now under the tyranny of foolishness; things are believed by Christians of such absurdity as no one ever could aforetime induce the heathen to believe." - Agobard of Lyons, ca. 830 AD
