Thanks for the link, Alama-Girl. Much as I tried to say, far less eloquently, the ancient Jews didn't think about "science" and the origins of the universe the way we do; nonetheless, they recognized a deeper mystery than was described in 31 sentences in Genesis.
Indeed, if one is troubled over the content of Genesis 1 - it would be helpful to spend some time with the original Hebrew, the translations and the traditions of the Jewish people who handed the Torah down so faithfully over the millennia.
