Vernon,
I think what George would like to know is, once you determined
for yourself the miraculous nature of this verse, how were you
able to deduce from this finding that YEC is correct?
You should be able to explain your reasoning here quite
independently of whether or not others agree with your claims
for the miraculous nature.
If this is not what George meant, I am sure he can correct me,
but in any case I would like to know the answer to that.
In the light of Genesis 2:5 especially, it seems difficult to
maintain that the author of Genesis intended that the
six days of Chapter 1 should by taken literally.

Regards,
Gary
