You realize that in Genesis the Earth is only dry land and not a big phony ball floating in space?
There is nothing in the Bible from start to finish about God moving the heavens farther away. They are right where He created them...down in the midst of the Deep. That's right. It's all in Genesis. The heavens are the Firmament; and they were created down in the midst of the Abyss. And that's, quite frankly, where we all are; because the Earth/dry land was situated down in the Deep right underneath the heavens.
