Yes, this one about the dome is a bit off, I'm afraid.  Dome is also the word for various ice formations.

I do believe in a solid firmament, but this isn't good evidence for it.

... a perfect sphere. That's a message in and of itself. When Pope Benedict asked Giotto for a drawing to prove his worth as an artist, Giotto drew a perfect circle ... freehand. Perfection. It's a powerful message." A perfect circle in 3-D, which is the ubiquitous nature of space and geometry, becomes a sphere. The sphere relates perfectly to being and becoming in the cosmos, which itself is like precipitation, which is spherical again. Creation was made or brought into being and God still is also the rainmaker in Heaven, which means creation was somewhat precipitated from a cloud, the cloud being the glory of God and so forth.

Of interest:

Quote
The Earth also God commanded to stand in the midst of the world, rooted in its own foundations [Psa. 103:5: You fixed the Earth upon its foundations, not to be moved forever], and made the mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place that He had founded for them.
-Catechism of the Council of Trent

Does a sphere rest on foundations? No.

I just saw a picture of a perfect rainbow, where you could see both ends touch the ground.  It reminded me of a perfect dome shape and made me think that it's another reminder of the snow-globe shape of the earth.  If the earth was a ball/globe shape, then how would rainbows work?
