You keep taking my acceptance but different interpretation and turning that into me not accepting it.
Last time.
The issue is one of IN TER PRE TATION. I don't take Genesis as a literal account of creation. I do take to to be about creation.
And I already gave an example of the whole "evening/morning" issue. It's not meant to be taken literal. By literal I mean, "There is no room for interpretation":
Just because something is not a literal account of creation does not mean it isn't an account of creation

You can't dance around the evening and morning part.
A Jewish day begins at sunset. At the beginning of the evening.
Obviously I don't need an interpretor. Some folks like yourself struggle with reading comprehension
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
I use scripture to interpret scripture. If I used The religion of Evolution, (to interpret scripture) we would see a need to call out the 10 commandments as false.
Exodus 20 matches exodus 19,
Genesis 1 and the story of the flood.
Genesis 7:4
Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."
I enjoy several evolutionist apologists confirm that the THEORY of Evolution is a foundation of a religion and actually calls for a special revelation and "interpretation" of the bible.
I of course don't take these zealots litterally. it is name calling and emotion and not empirical evidence or science.
