interjection,
“G-d specifically told us what happened in the Torah, either you believe it or you don’t.”
That’s the thing. G-d did not specifically tell us what happened in the Torah. Maaseh B’reishis is sisreih Torah. It has very little literal meaning, if any (machlokes Rambam and Ramban whether there is anything literal in Maaseh B’reishis).
