Genesis 1: Interpretation (Myth Genre Question)

I was taught in school that the universe is really old. I also heard that C.S. Lewis believes that Genesis 1 fits within a genre of 'poetic myth', and that its author would have never intended to be taken literally in its assertion that creation took 6 days. Moreover,

Note that most ancient cultures had creation myths, yet Genesis 1 differs from other creation myths in some important ways. For example, in some creation myths a god might have been formed out of the earth, whereas in Genesis it is the earth that is being formed and shaped by God.

I thought this was very interesting.
