Read John H Walton " the lost world of Genesis one". It's atheist friendly, even written with you in mind in part. Although I'd more like fundamentalist Christians to read it. I know a few have revised their opinions after reading it.

The crux is, that you can take Genesis literally, but what we've become accustomed to calling literal is just about the opposite of what is actually written.

This is no fly by hypothesis either. This guy has been onto this for years. This thorough study gently reasons against all objections until you cannot see anything but the obvious conclusions and must agree with them. This is no theist bias. The book is for everyone.
