I had read the Bible for decades and never thought of this, to be perfectly frank.

Most Christians, except for YEC'ers still living in the 19th century, don't take Genesis 1 to be a literal representation of the physical creation of the universe. After researching Genesis from a historical perspective, I see a story with incredible amounts of theological and existential meaning, not a literalistic account for the mechanics of creation.

Hi Pandas, sorry to press you on a derail but I have to point out that the bible was always meant to be taken literally. Why do you feel that you are able to reinterpret the bible in such a way?

Sum ergo sum
