It is traditionally believed that Moses authored Genesis and most of the Torah. Genesis is not eye witness testimony unless there was writing going on at the time of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus and fathers of the Christian church state that all scripture is God inspired. I believe in what these authors say (Paul, Timothy, and others who claim this). Thus, it is my opinion that Genesis is God inspired but not God dictated. If we attribute Genesis to Moses, it is four thousand years old. Writing was barely beyond picture writing and Hebrew was even a rude hieroglyphics. Treating Genesis as literal history and trying to mine science out of it shakes my faith until I see the amazing details in connection between what God wants with his creation -- when I treat it as allegory. Myths about how things began is a natural injection of any ancient (or even modern) text but do not think that Moses and others were not inspired by God the Father.
