Saint Philaret of Chernigov:
"Moses' narrative about the order of the world is true history, and not the philosophy of some poet or philosopher, much less a folk myth."
"a) There is nothing in the narrative itself that would force one to deviate from its literal meaning; on the contrary, all the signs of a historical narrative are visible: brevity and accuracy in the story, simple speech, without the embellishment of imagination, without a cunning weaving of conclusions."
"b) Neither the poet’s enthusiasm, nor the philosopher’s subtle speculations were in any way consistent with the spirit of Moses’ time. Why suggest them in the narrative of Moses?"
"c) All the interpretations that have been made so far on the narrative of Moses, as allegorical, disagree with each other, and - they are all refined and arbitrary - some are added to the biblical text, others are excluded from it. And next. all should be rejected as unintelligent arbitrariness."
"d) The entire book of Genesis is a historical book. The history of the world is such a part of it, without which the content of the whole is insufficiently understandable. Therefore, the history of the world must have the character of an entire book of existence. 'The objects described are beyond human observation'? But they are within the knowledge of God, who illuminated the mind of the first-created (Adam) and of Moses."
"e) Moses in another book of his gives historical significance to the story of the world (Ex. 20: 8-11, 31, 16, 17)"
