He's using a pretty crappy one. But that's what we have. You could have it perfectly stated. What would that benefit you? Genesis seems very well crafted in comparison to the gospels, but then you have very different styles of books.
What would that benefit me?! Well, if we are to accept one brand of Christian thought (the "orthodox" version), apparently quite a lot!
Genesis is well crafted as myth, not as some historical anecdote of mankind's past. Once you eliminate the notion of Original Sin as conveyed in Genesis, the apparent significance of the Jesus story falls apart too. This seemed obvious to St. Paul.
Well that would benefit me to lol
I thought only idiots thought of genesis as a history book.

Only both together = perfection to me

Mythology is the wrong word. But cosmology it ain't.
