I believe it is poetic, factual, AND entirely true.

That is possible, but it sure is missing a ton of details.

Gripe to Moses when you see him again. Blame it all on the Hebrews.

If it contained all the detail, you couldn't read it in your lifetime.

The creation account is short and sweet. There’s a reason for that. The Bible is not about God trying to prove His existence and works to atheists.

The Scriptures are about God’s revelation to mankind on how we fell from His Grace, and how He promises us a plan of deliverance from the fallen state.

That is why more than 90% of the Bible is about God’s plan for deliverance and redemption.

Genesis is short and sweet. It should be. God made all things perfect. Adam rebelled, disobeyed then separated from God.

God did not have to tell Moses and the early Hebrews He created all. They knew and those today thus discerned know.

So the details you seek and some demand from God, by recorded revelation was clearly not His focus. This does not say we should ignore scientific studies, observations and experimentation. It just means such was not the main effort of God’s revelation to mankind.

Trying to wrestle with Big Bang was not and is not Christ’s command to preach to all nations. It was to preach His death and resurrection. Which is why Genesis is short and sweet. All the rest leads to Christ and His work.

I find it odd Christians grapple with creation. I can understand why skeptics, atheists and agnostics do, but not those proclaiming Christ as Lord and Savior.

For if a Christian believes Jesus performed miracles defying our physical laws how is Genesis 1-3 so hard to accept?
