[Mike Kerner]

why not have the engine do it for you - use convert to convert the possible

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
