Dear Bob,
Thanks for the quick question. I wish I could give a quick answer. I looked in both Catholic Answers and New Advent, but did not see anything on the topic. A serious answer would involve an in-depth study of the teaching of Genesis, especially chapter 1. Dr. Scott Hahn has an excellent series of tapes on Genesis. I would recommend them to you.
Perhaps another reader would like to give a response.
God bless,
Fr. Phil Bloom
