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.

I wish Christians that take Genesis 1 less literally were the majority of Christians at this site. I can find common ground with someone who doesn't think evolution is a conspiracy invented by atheists to undermine faith in God.
