	Just to set the record straight, Moses did *not* write the
opening chapters of Genesis, and it is highly doubtful that he wrote
*any* of it. In fact it, is highly doubtful that he wrote any portion
of the Old Testament at all.  This is not to say that the book of
Genesis wasn't inspired by God, only that Moses had nothing to do with
it. In such a discussion as this, it is important to get your facts
straight. If you are going to try to support a literal reading of
Genesis you will lose credibility if you make demonstrably false
statements.
