You would have a much better idea of Genesis 1 if you understood the Jussive tense in Hebrew.
Are you arguing that there isn't a shift of personal focus on the part of God when he creates Earth, seas, light and day, animals and plants first in an almost a off hand sense of focus but when he creates man he does so with a much more direct sense of purpose?
I'm not studied in Hebrew, you would have to explain what "Jussive" tense is to me....but I think the translators did a fairly decent job in translating God's creative focus shift between the creating of the rest of the world and the creation of man!
