If I'd been born 500 years ago I'd probably believe that early Genesis was literally how things happened - 6 literal days of creation. Now I don't believe that. Because science. But the truths that Genesis reveals - that we are a creation, that we were created by God for relationship with Him, that our rebellion spoiled that relationship with God - those persist.
