The point is that the Babylonian myths were CURRENT during the time
that Genesis was written so I am NOT going "ahead".  The theory I am
proposing is that the author was making a comment about the Babylonian
myths more so than trying to make a scientific statement about the
time of creation.

So you are saying that we need to read the Bible in the context of the
times?  Then why does any part of that book apply to us now?  If we
use your theory, then we must not take anything in the Bible at face
value.  You are finally getting the big picture!
