So the authors wrote the creation story that's says god created everything this way, to really mean god did create everything but not this way?
Most of us believe it simply means God is the father of all creation. Whether it was done in 7 days or over the coarse of billions of years, is not important to this one, fundamental belief.
Why not just say god created everything? Why give an exact time frame and day by day breakdown of creation if it wasn't true?
