The film is a modern version of the book of Genesis. Dad as Adam, Mom as Eve, and their three sons. Hence, the creation bit makes perfect sense. Note Sean Penn as Cain and his "coming home" to his family at the end of the film. Many more bits and parallels can support this interpretation.As it is one of the best films ever made, there are, of course, other plausible interpretations.
And besides, don't enjoy looking at beautiful non CGI effects? That was less than twenty minutes of the film.
I have found the criticism of the film amusing. I have seen it twice and both times people walked out. Have a look around...most people either don't appreciate art or only look to cinema as superficial entertainment. None of that is the fault of Malick.
P.S. After the first time I saw it, I didn't think it fit either.
