Please forgive my ignorance, but as I read Genisis, I see two stories of creation. The seven day theory and the Adam and Eve one (unless God created everthing twice :->). It was my understanding that the seven day theory is the story of creation that the rabbis told the Hebrews as a justificaiton of the Sabbath. Adam and Eve were in the story that the people told amoung themselves to answer such questions as "Why do we suffer so?". It is also my understanding that the purpose of Gensis is a record of how the Hebrews came to know thier God, not a history of the world from Day 1.
