I read that going back to the oldest copies of Genesis there are translation issues. No direct tr5aslatatioojns for some of the words words.
The story can be interpreted in different ways by translators. Instead of god created the Earth it could mean out of chaos god brought order or something lke that.
I forget the exact words, it hindges on a few words.

Lost here. The only Peano on google is Giuseppe Peano, a long-dead Italian mathematician who developed theories which, as described on wikipedia, are way beyond anything I will ever understand. The Peano axioms...the Peano curve...I'm sure I'd need to go back to undergrad math and then graduate level math courses to get a toehold on that stuff. And then I'd never get to finish Dickens, Shakespeare, and Dostoyevsky...

A little bit of set theory turns one into all, or almost all. Not my strongest suit either, by no means.

Yeah, I will stick to Peano Grigio.
That's the one I was referencing, who came up with Peano's Axioms, axioms said by some to be the foundation of all mathematics.
1. Zero is a number.
2. If
is a number, the successor of
is a number.
3. zero is not the successor of a number.
4. Two numbers of which the successors are equal are themselves equal.
5. (induction axiom.) If a set
of numbers contains zero and also the successor of every number in
, then every number is in
.
Peano's axioms are the basis for the version of number theory known as Peano arithmetic.

I see a lot of ads about the Peano Curve. Apparently, a good urologist can cure it.
