Let me assign you a home work. Go through the passages ending with "And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done", and try to find one part in that that might refer to how, one part of it which might refer to when, and one part of it which might refer to what.I may be stupid, but I'm not playing. What I'm challenging you to demonstrate is that Genesis 1 was written for the purpose of teaching about the hows whens and whats. It is a question of the authorial intent of the passage. What in your view is the genre of Genesis 1? How would it have been understood by its original audience? Would they have understood it to be making scientific claims about how the world came to be as it is? These are the kind of questions you need to think about to make a case for your view of the text.
