According to Judeo-Christian tradition, God created the Earth out of nothing.
Prof Van Wolde, who once worked with the Italian academic and novelist Umberto Eco, said her new analysis showed that the beginning of the Bible was not the beginning of time, but the beginning of a narration.
She said: "It meant to say that God did create humans and animals, but not the Earth itself."
She goes on to say that she hopes her findings would spark a "robust debate". If by robust you mean bringing the crazies out, as evidenced in the same webpage's comments section, then Mission Accomplished.
