If God made 2+2=5, you’d would never know it ever equaled 4. That’s a silly example but it underscores the fact that even in your dissection of an omnipotent being, you still confine Him to your rules. Since when does God have to be logical or even make sense? Why do you insist that God fit into our universe? Why do you insist that God has to explain anything to you? If you don’t want to subscribe to a literal Genesis, then don’t. It doesn’t matter. The creation was never a central doctrine that was part of atonement either in the OT nor the NT.

See? It’s just like I said. If impeccable logic or empirical evidence contradicts your beloved beliefs, then you will reject impeccable logic and empirical evidence. You will revel in the absurd and nonsensical, and take great pride in doing so. There is no point in reasoning with you, for you have abandoned all reason, and no purpose in engaging you in rational debate, for you have forsaken all rationality. You are impervious to cogency or coherence, and care neither for the indisputable testimony of your own senses nor for the irrefutable chain of causality from observed premise to necessarily entailed conclusion. It’s not a matter of right thinking with you, it’s a matter of what feels good. Your emotions hold imperial sway over your intellection, and your heart rules over your mind. You have willingly amputated your own brain.
