Genesis one isn't about sequences. The sacred writers purposefully placed stumbling blocks in the writing to take certain ideas off the table.

That's interesting. I never heard anyone say Genesis was a puzzle. It's been taken literally, and as an allegory, but as a puzzle? /p>

Origen is generally considered Mr. Allegorical interpretation but that is really too simple an explanation. He "granted to them a sophistication of intention and composition which rose beyond the simple dichotomies of “literal” and “symbolic”.."
or so says the instructor of my creation class.
