I had an interesting idea the other day that chapter one of Genesis didn't make much sense physically, but could as computer code. I wrote an R script that does accomplish this to some extent. The end result I got was impressive visually, but my code was not that faithful to the instructions. Here is how I interpreted the first two verses:

###In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
#install.packages("sphereplot")
require(sphereplot)

##Create Heavens
rgl.sphgrid(radius = 5, col.long="", col.lat="",
                        deggap = 15, longtype = "D", add = T, radaxis=F)

##Create Earth
rgl.sphgrid(radius = 1, col.long='', col.lat='',
                        deggap = 15, longtype = "D",add = T, radaxis=F)

##Now the earth was formless and empty,

##darkness was over the surface of the deep,
bg3d(color=c("darkslategray3","Black"),
          fogtype="exp2", sphere=TRUE, back="fill")

##and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Does Soylent have any other ideas on how to interpret these two verses? More verses to come if there is any interest.
