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.
