Hi Paul!

Thanks for clarifying your post. However, I did understand what you were
saying in your first one. I guess we will agree to disagree whether the
two accounts of creation are independent of each other, or connected in
some way (other than being next to each other in the one work). We
agree, I think, that your view sees a connection between the two
accounts. My view sees them as differing accounts, each with their own
theological agenda. The different (though often similar) agendas account
for the different approach to Creation.

HTH!

Many thanks and regards,
