You see I disagree with you, Genesis 1 is the overview of creation Genesis 2 gives us the details. There is nothing in Genesis that would indicate that it is not to be taken literally. In context it is quite literal. God cannot contradict Himself and Jesus speaks to creation. It is quite simple so anyone can understand and yet if we allow ourselves to study the text the depth is incredible. God is awesome.

Gen 2:4 insists the translation of "yom" be indefinite period of time. You can't have a 24 hr day without the Sun. It wasn't created until the fourth "yom".
You are misinterpreting the Bible if you think that the Adam segment pagan myth is related in any way to the scientifically more accurate Gen 1 account.
