		I also understand the person who says that the Genesis story is a story of God's intention for man, and not a scientific account, and so the old number "6 days" is irrelevant to the real issues addressed in Genesis.
		I believe the Bible was inspired by God, and should held to a higher standard, but not, apparently, as high of a standard as you set.
		Ahhh yes, however, I think the normal Christian understanding of the Bible is that it is indeed a man-made document, but one that is, despite that, a communication from God.

	Hebrew Poetry
		Because we read the Hebrew Bible from a Modern Western thinkers point of view and not from an Ancient Eastern thinkers such as the Hebrews who wrote it.

		Days 2 - 7 use the Hebrew word for second, third, fourth, etc. We would assume that the "first" day would use the Hebrew word "reshon" meaning "first" in order to be consistent with the other six days, but instead we have the word "echad" meaning "one" or " in unity".

		Genesis is a book of beginnings: the origin of the universe, birth of the human race and founding of the Hebrew nation.
		At any rate, we will assume that the message of Genesis was given to Israel during their years in the wilderness, around 1250 B.C. Therefore, we need to know something of Israel's cultural and religious situation in order to understand what the author intends to teach.
		Genesis and the whole Old Testament look forward to his new creation and covenant in Jesus Christ, into whose fellowship we also are called.

	Interpreting Genesis 1 - 2
		Genesis was written in the context of a pre-scientific worldview, and that is the language it speaks.
		In Genesis, the world is without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep waters (the Hebrew word used is tehom, a word derived from the same root as ‘Tiamat’).
		In a sense, in the P creation account in Genesis 1, and in the references to the exodus, a sort of ‘demythologization’ is taking place, as traditional mythical language is applied either to historical events or to creation understood in a more theologically sophisticated manner.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: Reading Genesis as a Book
		It is perfectly apt that the Patriarchal Tales should conclude with Jacobs deathbed poem envisaging the destiny of the future tribes of Israel, which he prefaces with the words, "Gather round, that I may tellyouwhat shall befall you in the days to come" (49:1).
		Genesis begins with the making of heaven and earth and all life, and ends with the image of a mummy--Joseph's--in a coffin.
		Genesis, then, works with disparate materials, puts together its story with two large and very different building blocks, but nevertheless achieves the cohesiveness, the continuity of theme and motif, and the sense of completion of an archetectonically conceived book.

		It was conceived in 1965 when, after several years of study by committees from the Christian Reformed Church and the National Association of Evangelicals, a trans-denominational and international group of scholars met at Palos Heights, Illinois, and agreed on the need for a new translation in contemporary English.

		Given the prescience and super-human intelligence of the author(s), the view that the Bible is merely a collection of ancient myths should be rejected.

	Ancient Paths - Articles - The Bible Code
		In the end, the notion of the Bible Codes rests on two fundamental pillars: 1) the claim that these word patterns are statistically significant and could not be accounted for by chance; 2) the idea that there is a letter-perfect, inviolate, version of the Torah in Hebrew, without textual variants or alterations.
		As for the inviolate text of the Hebrew Bible, the whole Bible Codes theory faces what I take to be a rather insurmountable problem—especially in dealing with portions of the Hebrew text larger than a section or page.
		This means that any wide search of the Hebrew Bible, involving thousands of letters in dozens of pages, becomes invalid if one assumes that the precise letter sequence in modern copies of the Torah has not changed over the centuries.
