In the second day, God made the firmament. This is significant (to me). "And God called the firmament Heaven." There is parallel here, to what science teaches. Setting up a solar system is one of the very first things that must happen.
Oh, perhaps it can't be just any solar system. It must have a planet at the right distance from its sun so that life will be sustainable. Just the same, setting up a solar system is one of the very first things that must happen.
Just weeks ago, news came of the oldest solar system yet to be discovered, revolving around a star called Kepler 444. The scientific community buzzed with excitement, as the discovery was said to increase the chances of finding life on other planets, for the planets in the Kepler system were almost of the right size that life might could be supported.
"And God made the firmament . . . And God called the firmament Heaven." Second day. A parallel can be drawn here between what the creation story teaches, and what science teaches.
