Having said that, I'd like to state for the record (seriously and with not a trace of snark) that I love Genesis. Yeah, it's a strange and goofy-as-hell saga, but I think it's fun and I've always enjoyed reading it. I'm willing to cut ancient authors considerable slack when it comes to origin stories. They didn't know what they didn't know. Big deal.
The only people who can dim my enjoyment of that book are the contemporary fuckwits who think they're reading history or the "inspired" word of their god and insist I should read it that way too. Those people could suck the fun out of a New Year's celebration at the Playboy mansion.
If you wanted to get technical origins really should have been like so
1. the heavens
2. the stars (actual light)
3. planets etc moons and shit
4. life
