My current thinking is that (1) the structure does not
de facto rule out six-day creationism, but I am still pondering the implications; (2) we need to bear in mind that Genesis 1-2 is a cosmology, hence it is not, of necessity, an actual account of what really happened unlike the Exodus, 1 & 2 Chronicles etc.
