Atheists, not believers, are ultimately responsible for the multiple interpretations of Genesis: Every time we have the temerity, the unholy gall, to point out inconsistencies and logical/factual errors in their creation myth, they trot out a new version in a more and more desperate attempt to salvage whatever remains of their clumsy faery story.
In short, there are exactly as many Genesis interpretations as there are fatal errors in Genesis.
