Because if there isn't water just there, the "dome" of the atmosphere isn't separating the waters.
We don't know the structure of everything in the universe. The bible says there is a separation of waters and the dome is the separation. Maybe it's talking of the water in space, or maybe there's water under the dome of the shell of the earth. Maybe there's water in another dimension.
Alternate dimension? Methinks you're getting desperate.

His body wandered. When He was with Satan, He probably went with him in the spirit, since Satan was in the spirit.
