There is only ONE creation "story". Genesis Ch. 1 is a general account of the six days of creation, while Genesis Ch. 2 is a more detailed account of the sixth day of creation. If you had actually read those chapters you would know this. Might help if you read a text before critiquing it.

Here' one potential conversation:
True Believer: We have solved the great mystery of the cosmos and the origin of man.
Cosmologist: Wow.
True Believer: Yup. It's the talking snake in the garden story. One of the 10,000 gods turned out to be real.
Cosmologist: Oh.
The story of the serpent in The Garden of Eden has nothing to do with either "the mystery of the cosmos" or "the origin of man.". If you had a really read the text, you would know that. But since you apparently have not read the text, you babble.

One can just imagine Steven Hawking, Lawrence Krauss, Albert Einstein, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Charles Darwin closing up shop and thanking the faithful zealot for the great gift of understanding.
Those outstanding scholars, being scholarly after all, would certainly read the relevant text before dismissing it. You would do well to follow their example.
