"Steven Boyd has objectively shown, using statistical methods, that 
Genesis 1:1–2:3 is historical narrative.
Boyd demonstrated that the preterite verb forms used throughout the early chapters of Genesis dominate narrative texts, while perfect and imperfect verb forms dominate poetic texts.
Using 96 sample texts (47 narrative and 49 poetic), Boyd was able to classify each of the texts as narrative or poetry depending on its distribution of preterites. In the case of Genesis 1:1–2:3, it was statistically classified as narrative with a probability of 0.9999. This is an extraordinary level of confidence that amounts to virtual certainty." CMI
