Dave -

A couple of articles which you can find online are "Chiasmic Cosmology and
Creation's Functional Integrity" at
http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/2001/PSCF3-01Murphy.html and "From the Small
Catechism to the Big Bang" at
http://www.asa3.org/ASA/topics/Astronomy-Cosmology/GlaubundDenken1997Murphy.html#FROM%20THE%20SMALL%20CATECHISM .
My fullest treatment of the subject is in my book _The Cosmos in the Light
of the Cross_ (Trinity Press International, 2003).

Shalom
