I think it's about justifying morality and what it was from the beginning.
Why aren't Angels ruling us instead? Why is it certain humans who God created his image and made them Kings?
Water - Light - Sky - Sun - Star - Moon all can be parables of what morality was at it's origin, before physical form of the world....
As we know morality had to embrace both hidden beings (demons, Angels) and humans, in the same way, and this showing some reasoning.
And nurturing feature and growth with respect to the light, this important as well.
Anyways, the literalist approach even if was let's say scientifically proven, it would not have been proven to Israelites at that time.
You should be looking for proofs in holy books, not things that cannot be proven one way or another.
