Plus what is written about creation in genesis and other traditional stories is falsified by what we know about the universe, star and planetary formation and evolution.
I don’t think so. The big bang theory involves pure-energy expanding from nothingness, which is comparable to light-alone. "Let There be light" . Also, the teachings of Genesis were 5,000 years ago to people wo had no concept of history or science.
What is stated in Genesis was more general, but consistent with, creation over time-i.e. evolution of various life forms.
It is interesting that Genesis got it correct that life formed in the seas before on land. Could be a coincidence, but there was no science or fossil record back then to support that. The text got it right back then with no science back then to back it up. Coincidence?
