"Did I violate the rules of b-hebrew when I argued that the account did not 
start with chaos, and that what is said in Genesis 1:1-2 accords with modern 
science?"

In arguing that Gen 1 did not start with chaos — fine for discussion, because 
it's asking about literary content.

In arguing that Gen 1 accords with modern science — not fine for discussion, 
because it's moving beyond the literature into a different field.

Hence, keep things confined to the literature. Modern science is not on the 
table for discussion here at B-Hebrew.
