6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it 
   divide the waters from the waters.

7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament
   from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the
   second day.

9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place,
   and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.

***After the Flood, the “bubble” is broken and there is no    
      longer a barrier between Earth and the sun’s rays.  
      Therefore, people no longer live to 900 years old!***   

                                      Genesis 7:11

11 In the six hundredth year if Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of
     the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the
     windows of heaven were opened.

Scientists have found evidence that the Earth might have had a protective “bubble”, or a type of “greenhouse” layer. (Decades before the Green House Effect was ever discussed!)  Read Immanuel Velikovsky books:
