Genesis 1:6-8:"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And 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. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day." So the heavens, or sky, is a FIRMament, a solid object (unless you know some meaning of "firm" that means "air") that divides the water from the water--there is water over the wky, then. They probably thought that because both the sky and the sea are blue. And then in verse 9:"And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so." So God made the water reveal the Earth as under the sky, and the sky holds up the water above. Genesis 8:2 corroborates this picture, if you read it. Would just one creationist say they believe that is how it is?

Yeah. Some of them believe that.
I just wonder how the god fellow put the stars and stuff in the firmament and then put water over the top of them...

The "firmament" is not the Earth, but the atmosphere. Genesis tells us that the birds fly in the "firmament" of heaven. Birds fly in the air, not the dirt.
The waters that were under the firmament were both the surface water upon the earth (seas, rivers and lakes) as well as the vast subterranean chambers that broke open at the beginning of the Flood. The great ocean basins that we have today are the collapsed water chambers beneath the thin parts of the Earth's crust. The water then filled them in.
The waters that were above the firmament were the water canopy that used to be above the Earth. This is what fell to the Earth as rain during the Flood, so you had water coming down from above and up from below, which buried the Earth 1.6 miles deep with water worldwide. This canopy consisted of ice or water and liquid aluminum. It would have filtered out the damaging rays of the sun and only let in the heat, and it would have increased the air pressure which would have caused both plants, animals and humans to grow immense, live for incredibly long periods and speeded healing.

galaxies come and flow , and a few nonetheless proceed to be this means that one and all galaxies are diverse an prolonged time this means that the earth isn't the comparable age as different galaxies. meaning the universe is the epitomy that proves evolution fake.

But I accept scientific miracles in Quran.
There are a strong relation between Islam and sciences visit this site http://www.55a.net/firas/english which contains scientific miracles in Quran.Read this article
The Birth of the Human being
Many diverse subjects are mentioned in the Qur'an in the course of inviting people to believe. Sometimes the heavens, sometimes animals, and sometimes plants are shown as evidence to man by God. In many of the verses, people are called upon to turn their attention to their own creation. They are often reminded how man came into the world, which stages he has passed through, and what his essence is:
(It is We Who have created you. Why, then, do you not accept the truth? Have you ever considered that (seed) which you emit? Is it you who create it? Or are We the Creator?) (The Qur'an, 56:57-59)
The creation of man, and the miraculous aspect of this, is stressed in many other verses. Some items of information within these verses are so detailed that it is impossible for anyone living in the 7th century to have known them. Some of these are as follows:
1. Man is not created from the entire semen, but only a very small portion of it (sperm).
2. It is the male that determines the sex of the baby.
3. The human embryo adheres to the mother's uterus like a leech.
4. The embryo develops in three dark regions in the uterus.
People living when the Qur'an was revealed, to be sure, knew that the basic substance of birth was related to the semen of the male emitted during sexual intercourse. And the fact that the baby was born after a nine-month period was obviously an observable event not calling for any further investigation. However, the items of information just quoted were far above the level of learning of the people living at that time. These were verified by 20th century science.
Now, let us go over them one by one.

No matter which way you look at it, Creationists have about as much credibility and science backing them as people that say AIDS isn't caused by HIV, and only comes from poor and gay people.
