The problem seems to be that

Everyone interprets what they read in a different way.
For instance in the King James version of the Bible, in Genesis 1:1, it states that: “God created heaven and earth” There must be millions if not billions of different interpretations of those words. Naturally, the meaning that is placed on those words was placed there thousands of years ago.
The question is; is the meaning or concepts behind those words translated faithfully into English and have the concepts changed since they were written down in the original language.
Suppose that the translation reflects the original version perfectly. Then, what is the modern meaning of those words, and what are the concepts that those words represent?
Since “genesis” is the subject of the very beginning of everything that exists, the word “God” must refer to “that which” was able to create something out of nothing, the first creation was “heaven.”
According to my interpretation, the word heaven is substitutable with the modern word “space” and the word “earth” in genesis can be interpreted as the modern concept “Higgs field.”
So; in the very beginning of the universe God caused the space and Higgs field to come into existence.
And if the writhing is interpreted further with this method of understanding, it becomes clear that the “days” that are mentioned are not those of the revolving planet Earth but far more profound dimming and brightening of the universe, perhaps like the big bang and big crunch, or the compression and expansion of galaxies.
