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.
