[Avodah] Bereishit

[Rabbi]

1. Torah isn't a history book, but it also happens to teach history. 

2. The problem with this answer is that it really doesn't answer it, as the chronology still doesn't work - according to science, there were no plants before the sun and the moon. So either it's all a parable (and there doesn't need to be any correlation between Torah and science), or you need another answer (such as the Lubavitcher Rebbe's answer that the world was created old).

3. The question is if we're working within nature or without. So hurricanes are natural, but Beriya very well may not (do you have a source that nature started from day 1 vs day 6 or when Adam was evicted from Gan Eden)?
