Re: Yah.
The creation story is a valid explanation simply because no one knows how the universe started.
Regardless of the multiple contradictions between the two creation stories in the Bible, and between either of them with the evidence of the world we see around us? That seems to be an odd use of "valid."

Re: Yah.
Read Genesis chapters 1 through 3 again, and get back to me. We'll go visit a previous thread or two on the subject.

Re: Yah.
Genesis 1 deals primarily with the creation of the cosmos itself, rather than the things in it.
The is the Book of Genesis - the one in the Bible - that we're discussing here. Not, apparently, whatever one you just read.
BTW - say "hi" to my daughter the next time you see her running around Audabon Park. She's the one with the curly hair.
And we're off-topic for this thread.

Re: Yah.
20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
That's KJV - others are similar.
