>> And then the first woman is formed from the rib of the first man. > What is impossible about that? I honestly don't know where to begin. Perhaps you can explain how that is compatible with what we know of the biological history of genders, sexual reproduction and anatomy? >> Not to mention earth existing before the stars. Before even light! > Nowhere does Genesis say or imply that It's literally the first thing it says: "1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."

Earth, then light. This is talking from the perspective of an observer on earth. Light in a general, diffuse form started to penetrate the atmosphere at some point (this is the "creation" of light at 1:3). Then there was an expanse (vault) created to form a division between water below and those above. For an observer on earth, light would have only gradually penetrated the waters above. Eventually, the sun and moon and stars, and their motions, would become visible (1:14-18)
