I mean I don't think even there's any god there but I think you should at least see the bible as a book that tries to explain the existence of humanity. People back then tried to explain why they are and why everything is. Then we have a few thousand years until they start to write down those stories. Those stories are so weird because people didn't know shit. However the idea of two people creating humanity must be much older than the old testament since the Mayas had a similar belief where a God creates a man and woman.
People who literally believe every word in the bible though are just stupid.
I think it's neat that if you squint a bit, Genesis tells the story of the birth of Sol, Earth, evolution and finally human evolution.
Couple of things created out of order, plants before sea life and such, but not too bad! And their punishment for eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge? Now that they're smart, they're no longer just hanging around the Garden picking up free food. They have to go out and invent agriculture and work. Now they know they're mortal, understand death. Pain of childbirth? Big brains!
Of course there are two creation stories in Genesis, I'm going with the first one.
