First off, a thanks to Micheal Cranford for the article this is a reply to.  It
is one of the best-reasoned, best-written items to appear in this newsgroup
so far.  Keep it up!

I would like to add an article to his reading list.  It's quick, interesting
reading, easy to find at any library; give it a try.  The article is "Genesis
vs. Geology", by Stephen Jay Gould, The Atlantic, September 1982.  The basic
thrust of the article is to examine the plausibility of the Great Flood, and
in particular the plausibility of the various proposals "scientific creation-
ists" have come up with to explain where the water came from and - it turns
outs - the harder problem of where it went.  Gould uses this discussion to
form the basis of a general discussion of "scientific creationism" and the
scientific creationists.
