Does Genesis state the origin of time/space/matter? I believe it doesn't. It omits it as non relevant for the story at hand (God telling Moses the origin of this world).
I can't twist my head around it telling a creation story of anything other than this world and maybe the solar system (the creation of the Sun).

I have a science degree (MaIT) and there are observations that just can't be ignored - and as such you need to read genesis with this in mind. I found that genesis doesn't really conflict with the current established scientific theory of how our solar system was created (the order of such from the earth's perspective). But if you look further (where is our solar system placed?) which function does the entire milkyway galaxy serve? What about the relatively near Andromeda? Or any of the uncountable other galaxies out there. What purpose does those serve in the great scheme of things?
