Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the first biblical creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) differs from the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-25) not only in content but also in tone, mood and orientation. It also portrays a sequence of creation quite at odds with what science tells us really happened. So, any truths in the first creation story must be moral truths, not answers about how we were created and why we are here.
The first biblical creation story tells us that the earth existed before the sun, moon and stars; that there was daylight, even day and night before there was a sun; and that plants were created before there was a sun to sustain them. It tells us, or seems to tell us, that God created every living thing just as we now know know them. Some scholars even say that the first creation story says that the earth itself was pre-existing and uncreated.
