The creation story, is basically a babylonian myth. In those days they didnt know about science and the big bang, evolution etc etc. I think people have a responsibility to look at the bible in the right context. because parts are to be taken literally and other parts are to be taken Metaphorically and. This part falls into the metaphorical category.
Because even though it is not a scientific account of how the universe came into being. The underlying important bit is that it was God who created it, and it was designed with intention and care. It is also explaining Gods relationship with humans.
Now im expecting a reply saying, how convenient it is metaphorical. well im sorry for the convenience but it really is, ask any scholar.
