The literalist version that says Earth was created in 6 days about 6000 years ago?
Or the metaphorical version that says the story is not direct science, so an Earth created over thousands and thousands of years about 4.5 billion years ago is compatible with the Bible?
If the first, it's just wrong, so that doesn't help.
If the second, it's great that some Christians can accept that, but it adds nothing new to our understanding of the formation of Earth.
How about Jehovah describe the creation of Earth unambiguously so as to leave no room for various interpretations like there are today? That would be far better evidence for a god than some some flowery poetics that are so vague they really don't say much of anything.
