So there's no room for a poetic Genesis?
That's not what i said. Genesis must be viewed as an ancient Hebrew text. our writting styles can not be forced onto the existing texts. (Genesis is not a history book, at the same time it is not a book of allegory.) Genesis is Genesis and reflexs the ancient hebrew verbal tradition of passing these accounts, but in a written form. It is its own catagory.
