        Unfortunately, Jim West did not know the author of Gen 1,
neither is he omniscient so he no authority to make the above
afiirmation.

        Whether, the author was interested in science or not, he was
certainly interested in History - and history and theology are certainly
NOT mutually exclusive.

        cheers,
