Now all you must do, is show that Moses would not have written an allegory for creation, rather than a literal history.
1. Augustine admits it.
2. All scholars of OT studies and Heb language in all world class universities admit it.
3. The Bible makes it clear in legal code - that the same "days" at Sinai are the days in Gen 1-2
Then you're set.
BTW, it's obvious that Moses didn't write the first five books as we have them.
Deuteronomy 34:7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, neither were his teeth moved. 8And the children of Israel mourned for him in the plains of Moab thirty days: and the days of their mourning in which they mourned for Moses were ended.
Writing about his own death would have been pretty much impossible.
A number of books in the OT have a scribe adding the ending comments about the author - no "news here"
Your own Augustine admits the ages/timelines are literal in Genesis - and he is not even god at all, so how much more reason to just accept the Bible
