RE: Kerkut

What you are saying is, I won't consider anything new. Thanks for the
conversation.

  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 I would place historical content into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
