"i would need to be a hebrew scholar as to whether the word translated as "image" in english has a wider range than your take on it."

If the Bible is divine Revelation and every word of it is true, then you don't.

If you are not sure what is meant by "image", how can you be so sure what the meaning of "first day" and "second day" is in Genesis 1?

These are pretty dramatic things The Earth created before the very idea of light? "Divided the light from the darkness?" Surely Moses, or whoever wrote this knew what "shadow" was.

Did God not know when he "divinely inspired" this that the Earth is a ball rotating before a light source?

If you are going to pick holes in science because you literally believe the Bible why start with Darwinian Evolution? Why not Newtonian Physics?

If you can contradict the Bible by saying that the world is a sphere, that the Sun was created first. That light is a physical property of the universe, very large and obvious differences, why do you nitpick over which "bridge species" or missing links do or do not exist in the fossil record? Don't get me started on day 2 where it really gets weird and seemingly nonsensical.

Genesis
1

The Creation
1         In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2         And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3         ¶ And God said, Let there be light: 2 Cor. 4.6 and there was light.
4         And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5         And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6         ¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7         And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8         And God called the firmament Heaven. 2 Pet. 3.5 And the evening and the morning were the second day.
