For everyone's information, Conrad Hyers' arguments are developed at
book length in "The Meaning of Creation: Genesis and Modern Science"
(1984, John Knox Press). I believe the book is still available, but am
not sure. Conrad also wrote a new essay on the hermeneutics of Genesis
for my edited volume "Perspectives on an Evolving Creation."
