The Bible is a record of a specific group of people and their beliefs. It does not mention the Chinese, but we do know that they existed at the same time as the ancient Hebrews. If we look at the creation story in the eyes of the people that recorded it, we will find that in different sources, there are different, shall we say, interpretations of the story. We know, because Christ said such, that he taught only in parables. As the Son of God, we must accept that, as deity, he would not change. He clearly states that he was the God of the Old Testament. Since he is unchangeable, he must have taught by parable. Until one accepts that much of the Old Testament contains many accounts that are symbolic in their meaning, such as the Book of Job, we must either see them as irrational explanations of the world (myths)or fairy tales. Since many of us reject these explanations, we must decide that there is a rational reason for the way the things are told. When we see the symbolic, hidden meanings within the story, then understanding and personal revelation, through prayer and deep contemplation can reach us.
When we look at the story of Genesis, we are not looking at a detailed description of the entire act of creation, merely a summary as explained to Moses. However, the chronology of the events do, in fact, reflect the modern scientific explanation in a simple and to an ancient inhabitant, understandable manner of the creation of the earth.
There are millions of animals, plants, and other things that are not mentioned in Genesis, but that does not mean that they did not exist. But it does show that the planet had to be created before life could be. Plant life proceeds animal life , which proceeds human existence. In this, there is no disagreement with science.
Another thing we must accept, when we carefully study the Bible is that much of it has been altered, lost or mistranslated. this can lead to serious misunderstandings.
