I've noticed that the vast majority of creationists I've seen and heard and interacted with are Christians, and occasionally Muslims. Even more traditional, Orthodox Jews don't generally defend ideas of a young Earth or attack evolution and so on.
So I'm curious to learn from our Jewish members here how they interpret the first chapters of Genesis. How literally do you take them?
Were Adam and Eve literally the first two human beings, spontaneously created by God?
Was the universe and life on Earth created in 6 days?
Was there a literally global flood that covered the entire planet?
To be clear, I'm interested in hearing from people who practice Judaism, not Christians who happen to be Jews.
