Again, taken as poetry describing the unkowable workings of God I see no disparity. Day one need not equal day two. I don't believe the Bible is best read literally.

Ok, well, I understand your position. Genesis doesn't match the form of any other known Hebrew poetry. And the use of the Hebrew "yom" with a numeral always means one literal 24 hour day in other parts of the Bible. But even if it is "poetic language", not meant to be read literally, it still has the order of creation wrong according to modern evolution.

We'll just dissagree.
