The [[cosmology|cosmologist]] [[John Hartnett]] holds that the expanse is not matter, but is in fact the very fabric of [[space]], stretched out on Day Four (see below) to the limits of the known [[universe]].

|And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
|Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grasses, herb yielding seeds, and fruit trees, yielding fruit after its baramin, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth", and it was so.
