Re: Kerkut

Yes, but that is not what Genesis 1 is about.

  God existed prior to the creation of the universe and thus prior to the creation of space-time.

    Before TIME? How can that possibly be before time? Everything about that text is about time. And if you think they are historical doesnt that imply time?

        Yes, I am familiar with what you are saying. I think that Genesis 2:4 is the transition betwen the figurative, and the historical narrative.

        GRM: I would phrase it differently. I would say that 1 is man's best attempt to describe what went on before time, but since we are temporal beings, we can't talk about pre-time. I would place historical content into these events, and wouldn't call them 'figurative'.

        By the way, for anyone who might want to know what I do, one of the fields which my team discovered made the front page of the Houston Chronicle. Unfortunately, the web version doesn't have the picture of the spar, but this tells about Red Hawk spar which will produce the field we found. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/business/2391995
