To me, Genesis makes complete sense as an outline of creation. It is still true, just not detailed. Perhaps this was for a purpose, as creation is not the focus of the Bible, or why it was written. Prophecy about Christ begins in Genesis Ch. 3. That's pretty much right after God tells us He mad us. The Bible is a plan of salvation, and not an instruction manual for creation. It should be enough for Christians to know He did it. If the "how" was relevant to salvation, I think the "how" would be more detailed. Instead, the Bible reiterates through out, not the "how he did", but that He "did".

I especially liked your sentence in your post #636...which reads..."Instead, the Bible reiterates through out, not the "how he did", but that He "did". That is an excellent observation...
