Dondi, that's pretty awesome. Good goin.
But I wouldn't try too hard to match up words written by people thousands of years ago- who had no knowledge of any of the science that you describe and only had knowledge of earth- to the scientific knowledge that we understand today. I understand that certain parts in the bible state specifically that they are the word of God, the ten commandments for example, but does Genesis? It is a creation story, orally passed down till it could be written. It is written by man, with mans limited knowledge. Trying to link it up with science as understood today may be cool, and interesting to think about, but it's all interpretation trying to make the creation story make sense in the light of the information that we have available to us today. Which is quite a bit more in terms of science.
Look at the creation story as it would have been heard by people of those days.
"The heavens" to them would be where the stars reside, not the "Heaven" where God resides in their minds. They're talking about the creation of their world, earth mind you, not the palace of God or however they saw it. They may simply be talking about the sky, what is beyond earth and the sky, the "waters beyond heaven."
Dividing light from darkness, could obviously be interpreted as day and night light and shadow, and therefore explains these strange things for the inquiring minds of later generations.
The firmament separating the water below from above, could be the air, what separates the water (reflective, blue in the day black and starry at night) from the waters above (possibly perceived as the same thing in a different location ie. the outer blackness or blue depending beyond the heavens.) Notice that there was no land before this, only water on earth, and no distinction between the water on earth and (what they could have seen as water) beyond the air in the sky. (how would they know what was out there or even if there was an out there?)
God separating the land from the sea, again explanatory, they didn't know why it was so they say God did it. He's the only one powerful enough in their minds to do such a thing so it's an obvious answer.
Grass, plants all of that the same.
The lights in heaven. Notice how far down the list this is. People did not recognize that the stars were the same as the sun only much farther away. The stars of course, in their minds, were mainly put there by God so that man could tell direction, time, and the days months and seasons. They were merely tools to be used by them. They were also thought to reside within the heavens (the air separating the waters of earth from the waters above, beyond the heavens, remember.) The sun was the great lamp that lit the day, and the stars and moon were their guides and a dimmer lamp to light the night. This really puts the point home that people were
earth centralized, and were writing their creation story from that perspective. The creation of earth solely, not the universe as it is perceived today.
It is a fairly ingenious perspective for the times, but only one perspective among many such creation stories.
So comparing the story of creation in the Bible with science about the begining of the universe doesn't gain much. The story is earth centralized. Coming from man. And from man of the times limited understanding of the earth, let alone the universe beyond the "firmament."
You can apply the same reasoning to the creation of animals and people. It's a story trying to explain these people's world and how it came to be. That's all I see, because I'm pretty sure that that's what people of the time would have heard in it.
Does it have divine inspiration?
Who knows?
But don't read too much into it. That's where people tend to get into the most trouble in interpretation. Reading it through their eyes instead of the eyes that would have read it when it was first written. The eyes that it was originally meant for, and the mindset behind those eyes.
Read carefully.
