There is a very simple explanation for the events described in the first chapters of Genesis. An explanation that makes perfect common sense, is simple to understand, and fits 100% into the rest of the Bible. The Bible is God's covenant with mankind, and it begins with the creation of Adam and Eve. The creation event at the beginning of the Bible is NOT the creation of the universe, nor is it the creation of the entire planet earth. This is a description of the creation of the place where God's covenant would begin, where Adam and Eve would live, a place called Eden.
