The Creation Account
Genesis 1:1 thru 2:4
In today's world, the issue of what the Biblical Creation account in Genesis 1:1-31 actually means can sometimes be controversial and confusing. Its meaning as a foundational requirement to understanding the Bible and to the success of every Christian's spiritual growth is often under-rated. Understanding the Creation Account, now more than ever, is vitally important to understand in an ever-increasing world of skepticism and doubt.
IMPORTANT FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPT
THE BIBLICAL 'KIND'
God's Biological Grouping or Classification of Plant and Animal Life
FOR EXAMPLE: There is one Dog 'Kind' and a whole lot of variations or breeds within that animal kind. Generally, each kind can reproduced within its same group but cannot outside its kind.

Many have been misled into thinking that the Genesis account of creation is not actual history, but is just some sort of theological argument (‘polemic’).

It powerfully challenges one of the major problems in the church today that affects the authority of the entire Bible. Read it, and give it to your pastor or particularly anyone contemplating theological training—it could save them from getting derailed by some of the misleading arguments common in theological academia.7 Reasons Why We Should Should Not Accept Millions of Years - by Dr. Terry Mortenson - Answers in Genesis
