All of these are incorrect for the order of appearance in the fossil record. In order to explain the order of the fossils in the geologic column within a Biblical framework, you must either say that the entire column was deposited during a flood and then try to explain why whales are NOT found with the fish, or, you must assume that the order was never meant to be taken as any sort of order.
Most TEs say the account is allegorical.
I say it is a list of proclaimations by God prior to the beginning of the universe. Pardon my ignorance of theological terms. If that is what that word means, then I do believe that the account is inspired by God, not by man. And I believe that my interpretation of Genesis 1 is the only one which can allow Genesis to have historical content which is not contradicted by the geologic record. As to distinguishing between the two, I don't think one needs to.
