The problem is that the Bible makes contradictory claims and claims that are clearly false. And reinterpreting Genesis after the fact does not help. It is better to treat the first two books of the Bible as morality tales.
Okay, but it says that God commanded the seas to bring forth life.
That's pretty straight forward. It offended generations of bible
readers until Darwin's "little warm pond."
You have to read these things in a nuanced and sensitive fashion.
And regards the morality tales - people reject the "morality" tales
more than they reject the "tales." The stories of a united monarchy,
a King David, a prophet called Isaiah, a period known as the Exile
etc. might or might not be true - but the morality issues are firmly
rejected in "our" drug addled and adulterous world.
