This seems a good time to point out that, in my opinion, the Bible story of creation represents the universally accepted "science" of ancient times. As such it presents some difficulties which the modern creationist must eliminate when comparing the legend to modern knowledge. Most notable among these is the nature and function of the firmament, which holds back the primeval waters of The Deep, and carries the Sun, Moon and Stars around the earth.
I would like to see this addressed by our creationist friends, for it is one of the details often ignored by them and one which led to my current view of the biblical account.
PS It would seem that my difficulty posting has been resolved.
