Genesis chapter 1 is probably not intended by God to be a scientific text. Rather, it appears likely that it is a polemic written against all of the polytheistic nature gods from the nations around Israel, and Genesis 1 is a bold statement that YHWH is transcendent above His creation and that all of the things that all the weaker gods govern - the waters, livestock, the moon, etc. - were all created by God in a week, almost as an afterthought. This episode includes such an analysis, and ends with the my own "Used Universe" model of Creationism which represented my position in 2018.
