How Can the Caterpillar of Genesis One Get Transformed into the Butterfly of the Big Bang Theory ??

What justification is there for such a metamorphosis ??  
Well, as the genes of the caterpillar and butterfly are the same,  
So too with Genesis chapter one and the Big Bang Theory (BBT),  
We don't dump Genesis One, we retain it,  
But we re-interpret it by the Big Bang Theory.  
 
Moses borrowed from earlier Creation Week stories,  
eg,the polytheistic Babylonian account,(I'll look up the name of the other one).  
My point is that Moses cleaned them up, de-mythologizing them.  
We follow in Moses' footsteps when we take the "days" of Genesis One as ages,  
This move is based on the presence of eons in Hebrews 11.3 ("aionos" in Greek),  
we are following in Moses' own steps,  
doing more of HE himself already has done before us.  
 
We take "Let there be light"(Genesis 1.3) as the moment of the Big Bang itself,  
the creative command by which God brought forth the universe (Psalms 33.6,9).  
 
Next, in Day 2, we take the "raqia" or "Expanse" in the N.I.V. as  
descriptive of the "Inflation" right after the Big Bang.  
 
Third "the waters receding, with the dry land emerging"(Day 3),  
conveys the theme of the appearing of hilltops or islands.  
Metaphorically speaking the galaxies are "islands of light in seas  
of space." according to Herschel the 18th century astronomer  
 
Finally, Day 4 is when planet Earth comes into being.  
For according to the BBT or at least the extension of it,  
the whole Solar System came as a package.  
So when it speaks of "God creating the stars also,"  
They would refer only to the "wandering stars," the planets,  
which word comes from the Greek, "planetes" for wanderer.  
(Real stars would belong in Day 3 with the galaxies.)  
 
So, back in Day 1, where it reads, "in the beginning
God created the heaven and the Earth"(Genesis 1.1), -
we take that as a headline statement, not a statement of fact.  
For at that point. it (Creation) hasn't happened yet.  
 
The narrative begins with the next line,  
"And darkness was upon the face of the Deep"(Genesis 1.2).  
That's the darkness before the Big Bang,  
Covering the nothingness before Creation !!!
