If you look at the creation of the earth in the context of pure science and refer back to original language in it's proper context Moses becomes one of three things.
1- He is the best at guessing about creation.
2- Moses was the greatest researcher of all time.
3- Or Moses was a prophet and was given a short history of the world.
In the original Hebrew Day is "yom" which like day can mean
A- A twenty four hour time period
B- A unspecified time period
C- A event not tied to a time period. Such as many references which say "and in that day" these are not time specific, they are events which often times overlap other event.
Such is the case for the events mentioned in Genesis.
Day 5 is one of the strongest points in favor of the conclusion that Moses was a prophet.
Again referring to the original Hebrew the word Whales was a replacement for the word "Tannanm" (Sp)which means (Long or stretched ones, or sea monster). Again science backs up Genesis.
Genesis 1:21
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
Science indicates that life came from the waters, Fouls were some of the first land animals and "Whales or Tanninm, or what we would refer to as dinosaurs) were upon the land.
Conclusion Moses was either the greatest scientist and researcher of all time or he was a prophet of God. To me it takes far less faith to believe in the bible as the word of god than all the fantastic theories of the Godless.
