I hope this might help to give some fresh perspective on the text. It was written for the ancient Hebrew not modern man.

@5555miles No, far from it. In one of the videos earlier in this talk he says that of course God created the universe materially. He is God. It's just that the story in Gen 1 is not that story. Its thrust is something much more important: the creator God ordered his creation in such a way as to make things work for good, for humans & for his glory, & that the entire creation is his Temple. (The Jerusalem Temple was a micro-cosmos.) And he has placed his image—not an idol but human beings—within.
