Thanks for your reply! I don't want to misunderstand you. Are you saying that you believe there are two creation accounts?

Thank you for your reply!

Are you saying that you believe there are two creation accounts?

No, I'm not saying there were two creation accounts.

Genesis 1-3 gives the only account of creation by its observer who is also the Author and the Creator.

The difference between my assertion and the one linked as well as many others is simply this:

I am saying that Genesis chapters 1-3 apply to the creation of both heaven and earth, spiritual and physical; Adam's clock (Adamic man) begins when he is banished to mortality in Genesis 4.

The others aver that Genesis 1-3 applies to the creation of the physical realm only and some, to earth specifically; for them, Adam's clock begins when he is formed from the dust of the earth.

IOW, Scriptures are inherently Spiritual, Genesis is not a physical cosmology.
