                  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
                  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that
                  hath life, and fowl that mayfly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

                  And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the
                  waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after

                  his kind; and God saw that it was good.
                  And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the
                  seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

                  And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
                  And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle,
                  and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind; and it was so.
                  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind,

                  and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind; and God saw that it
                  was good.
                  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them
                  have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the

                  cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon
                  the earth.
                  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
                  and female created he them.
                  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and
                  replenish the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea,

                  and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the
                  earth.
                  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon
                  the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding

                  seed; to you it shall be for meat.
                  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing
                  that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb
                  for meat: and it was so.
                  And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And

                  the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

                  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
                  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested

                  on the seventh day from all his work which he had made."         6
                  Is this not an ideal theory? There is only one postulate — almighty God, not
            explained, but taken for granted. All the rest is the fruit of God's creative labor. As a
            logical theory it is flawless — a closed system that has no basis in reality. In fact,
            their key to understanding the universe be-comes, at the same time, the padlock,
            the obstacle, to this understanding  — a closed circle with neither beginning nor
            end.
