Buying an explanation based on Bronze Age and Early Iron Age thinking doesn't seem to work. The original Hebrew Scriptures describe the night sky as made of Iron, pierced by holes to allow star light to pass through. How is that "explanation" working for you these days? Anyone with a microwave receiver can point it anywhere in the sky and "see" something big that happened over 13 billion years ago.

Science describes the universe as observed. There is no supernatural being to observe. Samuel Delany has an Author Viewpoint character describing how superstitious thinkers keep looking for rocks falling upwards and fires burning without consuming fuel. The Author viewpoint character is more enchanted with being able to start fires for cooking or warmth as needed, them burning at predictable rates, and objects thrown into the air moving along trajectories that can be calculated in advance with precision.
