Genesis
1:1 - 2:4
The Biblical seven day account of creation is an allegory, a mnemonic for a people just beginning to preserve their collective memory by way of worshiping their One Supreme God. The symbolic days represent the millions of centuries that passed before our memory was born.
They, the people of Abraham, would tell and retell this and other stories for thousands of years, both before and after they developed the ability to write it down.
Does it astound you that the Hebrews' collective memory stretches back into everyone else's prehistory? It does me.
The Bible starts with the first day; let's call it "Sunday." I'm going to start with the seventh day, "Saturday," and work backwards.
After that, you can look at the chart I made to compare the Bible to Science.
