Second: The Creation tale is simply a way for early humans
to explain mans creation and «fall» from God's predetermined path... The old testament is full of stuff more related
to philosophy and health advice then «Gods word» However, this revelation has not made me less of a christian... In Contrast
to those
stuck in «the old ways»
regarding faith (not believing in neanderthals and championing the claim that earth is only 6000 years old), I believe God created the universe on the very
principle of physics and evolution (and other sciencey stuff)... Thus the first clash of atoms was the first step in the billionyear long recipe in creating the universe, the galaxies, the stars, the planets, life itself and us.
