Rolf Fururli wrote:

"This means that the creation account cannot be based on human observation, 
and therefore we cannot explain any part of it as such.  Either its origin is 
mythological, it is a guesswork by the writer, or it is given the writer by 
God. And here we have a real clash between the scientific method where 
metaphysics is excluded, and the Tanakh that is full of metaphysics—God is 
everywhere."

Some would call this a false dichotomy. But let's remember to stick to 
language and literature.
