The problem with this immediately is that Genesis 1 discusses earth, heavens, and the beginning: in short He is discussing the creation of time, space, and matter in ten short words of v. 1. We see heaven and earth. We also observe light and darkness and evening and morning. We also see the sun, moon, and stars in their respective places. We see the waters above and below. We see the animals and mankind. We even see the seven day weekly cyle on our calendars: and on the 7th Day God santified that day and blessed it and rested from all His works on the previous six days. God is not one for empty talk or flattering words. Not only is man made from the dust of the ground (physical) he also has the breath of life from God (spiritual).
In the beginning. We look at that and you may say "Literally" and I say "Okay, but I perceive that literality as irrelevant" In the beginning:
Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
So, in the beginning I see Christ.
Let there be light:
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light
Yes, one can look at Genesis literally. I say, that is irrelevant. Not only irrelevant, but impossible to literally comprehend with any meaningful probability. The spiritual is the only thing that matters:
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
