IMO the words "and God saw that it was good" (repeated many times in Genesis) preclude the notion of instantaneous, deterministic creation, and rather suggest some autonomous process with uncertain outcome. Or perhaps THIS PART of Genesis should be treated as poetic?
It doesn’t way that He watched it as it progressed.
It says that He did something, and saw that it was good.
Two actions.
Why read more into it than it says?
Why would you treat someone seeing something as poetic?
