I highly disagree. It IS an historical account. In context, the creative days are unknown time periods. The time period from Adams creation can be calculated to our day to the year. As in this (2009) is the 6034th year since Adams creation.
However, The part about "God gives the world to mankind to capitalize on", God does give it to man to use, "fill the earth and subdue it" as it were. Not meant to "capitalize" but make it a garden, a Paradise. The first account was the purpose for the author of the Bible, for man to live forever on earth. As to the author, look it up - 2 Timothy 3:16, and 2 Peter 1:20,21. If you dont believe that then read 2 Corinthians 4:4.
