Have you read this yet? A Telling in Six Ordinary Days I’ve since learned others have called this “Proclamation Day”, and it is an example of a literal reading entirely consistent with science.
As for what I personally believe, I’m not sure exactly, largely because I see legitimacy to several layers on the text. It’s hard to rule out all of them, and I think it’s probably a combination of several layers being true.
