There are people, mostly Southern USA fundimental Christians, who believe that Genesis is a literal account of the events that took place when God created the world and everything in it.
The problem with the Genesis creation story is that alot of it has been disproven as it cannot have happened. Lets have a look at it point for point shall we?
God creates the earth which is apparently an expanse of water. He then creates light prior to the sun and seperates the waters of earth using the expanse of heaven (an apparenty solid object called the 'firmiment') to seperate 'the waters above' from 'the waters below'.
Next, still prior to creating the sun, he creates dry land by moving the seas to particular areas and then creates all plant life on that dry land. God then decided that he'd create a large and small light to stick to this solid mass of heaven so that day and night, seasons and months can be determined by them.
