My whack at Genesis

This is using the Hebrew, from a scientific worldview (which they did not have in the traditional translations to English).

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

The breath/ spirit of God moved over the surface of the deep which was dark and formless void.

God said, let there be light, and there was light. God separated the darkness and the light. The separation of light from darkness was the first era.

God separated the expanse. God made the expanse above different from the expanse below, substances were separated from substances. The aggregation into waters and firmament(solids) occurred in the second era.

God gathered the waters together and separated them from dry land, seeing it was good.

Plants and seeds and fruit and trees began to sprout from the earth each seed yielding its kind of plant. And this emergence of separate land and time of vegetation abundance was the third era.

God separated in the expanse, lights, seasons, signs of night and day. God gave the greater light over the day and the lesser light over the night. And the emergence of the sky and its features occurred during the fourth era.

The fifth era was an explosion of living creatures. The seas teemed with life, the air was full of wings, and God saw the great good. And God blessed the creatures to multiply.

Next came the living creatures of land, mammals of all kinds from small to beasts. And God saw it was good.

And then God made humans, to rule the land, and everything in it. God created human in the image of God, men and women, God blessed and created them. God gave them the earth to multiply and become dominant over, to take from for food plants, and animals. And God saw it was very good. That was the sixth era.

And the seventh era he rested from his work of creation.
