Does the possibility of going to Space, void the idea of Heaven?

Before I begin, I would like to state that this is a two (2) round debate.
I would also like to ask who-so-ever accepts this debate to be open minded, and not turn this into an argument about the validation of The Bible, or the existence of a God. This topic, can be very confusing, and I hope that I do make clear on what I'm trying to say. Now on to the debate!

Does the possibility of going to space, void the idea of Heaven?

I believe it does.

I will be pulling from The King James Bible.

Genesis Chapter One verse One.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"

This Verse, never declares what heaven is, where it is, or any details on heaven at all. It merely says, it was created. Now I don't have a problem with this, it is fine by itself. The problem lies in when I kept reading.

The next couple of verses state what else God created on the first day of creation. (1:2-6). On verse seven , I noticed something I've never seen before. Or never paid attention to.

Genesis Chapter One Verse Seven-Eight.

"7-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.

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

Now. What just happened? The Bible , just said, in verse one, that God created Heaven. Then it turned around and said that , in verse seven and eight, God created Heaven again.

So now there's two possibilities available. Either..

A)God has two Heavens.

B)God destroyed the original Heaven and made a new one.

Both of these possibilities have huge flaws. I present them to you now.

Flaw in A- Its self evident, really. There's two Heavens. That's really the only argument. If the opponent agrees, we can void this argument, its absurd, right?

Flaw in B-At first it may seem there isn't a flaw here, but there is. Due to modern science we can go beyond the limits of Earth. Or into the Firmament, which according to The Bible, Heaven.

It may be time to define The Firmament.

1-"celestial sphere: the apparent surface of the imaginary sphere on which celestial bodies appear to be projected" (Source: http://www.google.com...)

2-"The vault or expanse of the heavens; the sky." (Source: http://dictionary.reference.com...)

3-"obsolete" (Source: http://www.m-w.com...)

(The last is pointless, in a way, but I figured I should include them all.)

All of these definitions basically say, that The Firmament is Space/the sky.

Now that The Firmament is defined, there's only one logical assumption.

Aa)-Man has gone to Heaven, while living.

But thats impossible, right?

So i bring this to the table, asking.

Does the ability to leave Earth, void the possibility of Heaven?

First of all, your knowledge of the Bible (expressed in your argument) leads me to believe that you lack sufficient knowledge of the Bible itself. If I am wrong, I appologize, but that is what it seems from your argument stance. I urge you to read HEAVEN by Randy Alcorn. This will clear up many of your misinterpretations and the information is directly linked to that of what the Scriptures teach.

First, you quote specific Bible versus as though it is the only acknowledement of Heaven and what it is according to the Word of God.

Heaven itself is not a physical realm. Being a human being, I cannot physically GO to Heaven. It is not a "place" of physical being. Heaven is a spiritual realm that hosts spiritual beings.

Heaven is technically two places. However, that has yet to happen (although it will, Lord willing). Heaven, as we know it from a biblical standpoint is a temporary "housing" tool used while sin corupts the world in which we live. The Bible states that, upon the return of Jesus Christ to save us from that sin, Heaven will become the New Earth. Basically meaning, like the prayer says, On earth as it is in heaven.

So, reaching space does not invoke anything about the existence of Heaven.

The idea of Heaven is not void by the possibility of going to space. My opponent must agree with that now.
