Why has God not written in the bible about space ever, why is the bible limited to earth???
I have not read the bible btw, so if there is any Christians out there that can refer to any passages about space then I would be very interested to read them, but it just seems strange that for such a big thing I have never heard of God referring to it

He tried, but gave up after that whole "sun revolves around the earth" mistake.

As Robin correctly pointed out, the reason there is no mention of space directly is because the people of that time had not concept of it. The Bible is written (for lack of a better description) in "baby talk". It was put on paper by human hands regardless of where the source of the Word comes from. In order for the main messages of the Bible to be understood, it had to be written on terms that the simple people of that time could understand.
It is not unlike trying to explain something to a child who simply does not have the experience and knowledge to understand. Just as you may use a story or an analogy to explain to the child, God's Word often used parables and metaphors, similes etc. to do the same thing.
For example, the Bible does not specifically mention the universe in the story of creation, but it does refer to the "heavens" which by extension can be understood to mean the universe.

the bible was written by people 2000 years ago, they didn't know about space yet. They wrote from what they understood to be the truth, and not all of it is accurate. The real message that you should be getting from the bible is to be kind to your fellow man and concentrate on your own faults instead of theirs. that message can and will be carried with us out into space whether the rest of the book comes along or not.
