You take a lot of what is said in Genesis and make it symbolic for something else -- for example, believing that the separation of light from darkness was the gathering together of our universe in preclusion of any other possible universes. Once you allow for such symbolic interpretation, it's nearly impossible to say one interpretation is better than another. The only advice I could possibly give that I feel would be of any benefit would be to trust that God meant what He said and said what He meant without the need for us to pin down various symbols.

I also wrote about Genesis1:1-8, and interpreted these verses by Hebrew. Would you kindly visit my blog and give me a good advice about my interpretation? I'll welcome your good advice. May our merciful God always stay with you! Thanks for your writing about the God’s creation.
